Terravast4, I was actually reading over some stuff last night and took notice to how high of a psi ppl were starting spray and gave me that same thought that I might be spraying too early, so I was thinking start at 3psi then full on at 6psi also thinking if I put smaller pully on ( 3.85 down to 3.50) at the same starting point and full on then that might workout as far as adding another 2 or 3 psi

Yea too much methanol too soon kills power.
thats why i only started my spray at my max boost for towing. So 10% at 6psi was a sweet spot and only would spray when it was really starting to need it

my next setup I'm thinking about doing 2 nozzles. A small one around 5-7gph and a larger one around 15gph.
have them on 2 stages since ill have a dominator ecu.

RDF1, this is all new to me so I wasnt really thinking of the fact that I have enough fuel without the W/M so ill have to play with it might try to just have it kick on full a 5psi ( I know they say it's better to ramp it in) since as soon as I wack the throttle it goes right to 5 psi

Ah! Forgot you got one then blower things haha.

I've been lookin for a thread on a forum where a guy spent a considerable amount of time on the dyno with a turbo 6.0 testing different amounts of W/M percentage and when to start the initial ramp and how much nozzle sizes changed the power. And putting too much W/M started killing the power but added torque. It was pretty cool.

RDF1, I read a post and the guy says you want like a .5 to .7 difference in afr while spraying 1.0 at most and that will tell yiu how much to spray, set your gas afr before spraying and then spay and set your true afr
