You'll get the added octane, but very little of the cooling effect that the centri and turbo boys enjoy. Much more benefit there vs using it on a TVS blower. How much boost are you planning to run? There's no rule, that I'm aware of, that says you have to run meth with higher boost. I'm around 12psi on one of my TVS blown LS motors. No meth needed on that one. Sure, it would allow a little more timing, but not worth the expense and hassle to me.
You also can't tune in the safety failsafes as easily with a p/d blower. If the centri/turbo boys sense higher IAT's, that indicates the meth isn't working and the tune can pull timing etc. You won't have that big difference in IAT's with the meth system working or not. You would if the meth could be introduced post blower. Not practical with a TVS blower though. |

Indeed, I pickup my heap Friday nitrous all setup.. There is a rental that day as well. I gotta get some new tires though, trying to pickup some C5Z Replicas and put a MT out back. Weren't you at 1200 on the blower? And if you rent ATCO i'll be there.

I just think it's Ted's weeks to own the car. Mine has been out. Just no track yet. Maybe when the new married fool comes back from the beach. I should be at the rental

ah 1200 crank. You should see more than a 250hp increase with that shot on a blower car. 250 shot could make 300+ HP and the nano adds 25%. Haha yeah you might need it and there are some big HP cars coming this year I think your gonna need all of it. Yeah thats the plan, gopro at the ready. |

yea, its going be hard for me to stay on the top of the fast list. however looking at their spec sheets, those big builds that are coming out have made a mistake that only experience can remedy. when I first built my car, I made the same mistake. so it will take them half the season to figure it out...giving me time to "up my game". anyway...the pressure to stay at number one sucks...I think i'll be relieved when it finally happens and just enjoy street driving an 8 second full weight Camaro. |

There is nothing wrong with meth. We normally stay away from it unless the car is really knock limited. Being tedious about the install matters. One of our customers had a meth kit installed and in less than 1 week the engine let go because the installers left the plastic meth line about 2 inches from the exhaust manifolds. It also went up and down hill so I feel like the pump wasn't getting a good feed and perhaps cavatiting.
