Build got out of hand. No ****. That is what the "Forced Induction" section should be renamed.

I still haven't seen anyone break the 05+ bottom end with a good tune. Mine has seen 26psi before. Not on purpose of course, but its been there lol. And stock48 has done 26-27psi on purpose...but he's a savage.

This is how I run my meth setup. I have a electric boost controller. Wastegate spring is at 8 psi for just normal driving. Then when I turn on the boost controller, it also activates the meth setup. My boost controller is adjustable up to an extra 15psi. It works very well. And it is just a matter of a switch if something pulls up beside you. lol!

Kind of hard to understand unless you look at a tune. The boosted regions where meth is used won't be used when you turn the boost down. So if you have meth coming on at 12 psi, all the 12 psi and higher boost pressures will be tuned for the increased fuel. Anything 11 psi and under, will be tuned for strait gasoline. So when you "turn it down" you'll just be running the lower boost pressures under 11 psi where meth isn't needed. Hope that makes sense

yes it does make sense to me, I understand tune maps a "little" I messed with my stealth ram injections before

thanks!
