Yeah, I figured it would be easy to meet up in what should be a pretty dead parking lot!

Ya man, got it back, had 370rwhp on the dyno a few weeks ago then dropped 5 the other day cause of the really hot weather, but its fun. My options were to go with either getting a methanol injection kit (which I dont wanna do), or wait for Aeromotive Inc, to finish developing an upgraded v6 fuel pump. The problem we ran into was that the fuel pump couldnt handle all of this extra power, and that is why most have gotten a meth kit. Im choosing to wait for this pump (which is supposedly supposed to come out in 60-90 days) which could even get numbers up to 430-440rwhp. Still though, as the car is now is just night and day from how it used to be. Its a little above the power of the SS and they said with there type of dyno you gain about 10 more rwhp when you hit the street because of the other forces. So ya, Ill be up there for sure though!

Even with the new pump you can still use a meth kit and increase power and largely help cool the motor internally.

I think of Meth Kits as a wonderful safety feature for motors under boost, helps pull heat out and also adds a little power due to methanol being injected in the combustion chamber.

Ject- if it turns out this pump isn't gonna happen I will most likely get a meth kit. Just something I would rather avoid for now.

Gotcha
I'm about to get a meth kit even though I'm N/A just for the added cooling effect
