U can prob run the higher boost, but its all about how far u can push timing before KR limits u. The Meth will offer a wider window before the blower ends up just a heat pump. At some point ur HP stops going up and u just generate heat and KR % starts to advance.
There's lots of better experts than me who can give u a more technical explanation...but thats how I understand it

In my setup I ran out of injector @ 10psi. Meth was my crutch for a long while.

Meth does a few things....increases octane allowing more timing safely, cools (slightly) ....what's that 3rd thing? adds fuel!

Mine comes on progressively, starting at 4psi and hitting full pressure at 10 psi.

You can always use good old fashioned Winshield Washer fluid. Pay attention to the contents. They don't all have the same ratio of chemicals.

Straight meth is better though if you can find it.
