As I'm getting the STS setup, I just ordered their Meth Inj. Seemed easier.
As far as power, Xtreme tested their truck at around 30hp increase with the Methanol using windshield washer fluid (30% Meth).
Anyone else tested their power gains?

The point of meth inj isn't really running more timing but in running higher boost at the same timing.

Running water is safer in terms of fire hazard, but I don't use the meth much on the street anyway (and leave the tank relatively empty).

ok, i have mine running very good now at 8lbs boost and no alcohol. i get 0 kr. if i were to put the 10lb pulley on, are you saying i can leave the tune exactly the same but just turn on the alcohol? i'll give it a shot. at what boost should i have it turn on? also, without a wideband, it's impossible to keep the a/f in check because the more you turn up the alcohol to decrease the kr, the more out of whack the a/f gets. almost not worth the effort.
