i thought meth came on with as little as 1psi of boost my bad(never checked into it at all since i would never have it)
It can come on at 1# if you want but your meth tank will be dry VERY quickly. You wrote that it releases heat and drops boost which means you were referring to a lose of power or am I reading it wrong? Either way its cleared up now.
