My goal here is to build two tunes; one that does not run methanol and one that does. This will be the one that runs without it. If I have to stop at 12psi or so, then that's what has to happen. I didn't like being crutched before when I ran out of methanol and knew I couldn't get into the throttle without going lean. Now all I have to do is write in this one and still be able to go WOT and not worry about breaking ****

Welp, coils are toast again. Same problem as last time back in september. Ignition is breaking up after a couple seconds in boost. Made 470/600 at the wheels on 10psi. Need to find some reliable coil packs and try again. Assuming my alternator is keeping up all right...

What's your plug gap at? Once I went above 10-12 psi I had to tighten mine up a bit. Felt like a rev limiter once the turbo spooled up.

Plug gap is an easy change. Also have another set of coils to try... I've experienced nasty drivability issues with too tight of a gap, though. Under 10" of vacuum with converter locked feels like you're towing someone on a rope because of all the misfires.
