In and of itself it's not meant as a power adder. It will help detonation issues when running higher boost/ more cr. It helps you get to more power w/o fear of grenading your engine.

It also requires some real good tuning to maximize the meth. I watched Dez spend over an hour last week dialing in a supercharged Mustang on the dyno. The car went from (something like) 320/330 to 380/390 with alot of fine tuning, timing and boost.
The big reality check (to me) was that meth is really only beneficial as the motor heats up.

Do you ever really get to run a cold motor with no heat soak at the track?

No, K-Y. Do you?
And with that blower you have, wouldn't you like to keep your IAT down? So spray some meth into it. But damn, there's a point where it works against you if your motor isn't hot enough. Hmmmm, guess everyone knows that.

Yes, at a point. Could be @60.

I sure as heck don't. The meth keeps my IAT in the 125-130 range during a run. Without it, I have seen 180deg. You can imagine how much timing is being pulled at 180.

I was thinking about adding one to Stillen s/c Titan. The thing is the Stillen kit has a piggy back that is not tunable. That means that I can't tune via the ecu either.

The kit I was thinking about is tunable as far as the amount of meth to add. The name of the kit escapes me at the moment.

Do you think it's still worth getting the kit?
