#1 complaint about running boost - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Bo White · 12-07-2013, 09:54 AM

Driving around in 40* weather for a while and then it gets 70* for a few days my car is a turd lol. Its back in the 30s and 40s today and its awesome

The n/a cars I've had run better in colder weather but not like a car with boost. Its turned up a few notches lol.

Top mount? The change to warm weather hurts them worse than a centri. You could install the A/C intercooler thing if it is a top mount. For a centri, nitrous cools it back down and makes the air dense again. :-)

Meth works good for both.

I have a front mount. ECS like you but Paxton w/ 9psi.

Humidity is a bitch with the centri's. I've been in that boat many-a-times. Unfortunately there's nothing you can do about it, at least as far as I know.

Meth!

Even meth doesn't work sometimes. It all depends on the humidity in the air. I mean it helps, but doesn't completely solve the problem. It loves cold weather though. That's one of the reasons I have my car worked on in the winter. Best time to tune and run the car. Turbos on the other hand, since they run off the exhaust, they love all kinds of weather and air density.

Straight Meth works best with my YSI.

My Whipple loves the cold air. So my #1 complaint would be traction.

That's all I use is straight meth. I'm in the process now of having a YSi installed right now. So, we'll see what happens. I believe that location has to do with it. You're in Ohio so I would assume that you experience the same humidity as I do. I could be wrong but I'm just saying from my experience.

I do use a dual nozel system setup to come all in at 7psi, can't remember tip size but Its a shit load of meth.. Location is about 6 inches or so before the TB.

Is that on stock cubes and/or forged? Looks great.

dan0617 · 12-08-2013, 01:09 PM

My last setup was an AFR headed 383 sbc, Vortech T trim at 16 psi. It loved pre blower meth to solve the hot humid air problem. I used a Mr Freeze Anderson Ford Motorsport kit that has no electronic parts and used a big nozzle and 70/30 meth/water. If I ever do meth again it will be pre blower. Many people say you lose the cooling effect spraying pre blower but it still cooled the air a ton, cooled the blower and made lots of power.
