Thread: Best way to spend $1000 budget?

meth is like 425, buy a tuner 400, and a 3.2 pulley

or a used ic whole kits pop up for 700 or less and 3.4 with a tune.

or save up another grand and buy a used turbo.

I ran a 3.2 on 93 with an IC, meth should be comarable or better .

Im on e85, IC and rockers running a 2.9 with just a front power log and DP. No knock .

If you have e85 available, some injectors, a tuner, and you're running some high boost and have a happy car .

Id ask scotty, he ran meth, i think you get a couple tanks out of it if you arent driving like your feet are lead .

Meth only engages when you hit boost, and the larger nozzles are like 600ml per minute 3.8 liters in a gallon. So you have roughly 6 minutes of meth per gallon, but thats really only when youre beating on the car.

Talk to scottydogs, i have a meth kit sitting my spare room i plan to install. You need a wideband o2 sensor so you can monitor wot fueling. Factor that in to your costs if you dont have one.

aem kit comes with a led light you mount in your line of sight. if its flashing, or dont come on when at or past the start to spray psi, you let off asap.

you pretty much pull fuel from the maf from 7000 up in the maf file. i had pulled some where 5000-6000 too. as thats where i was starting to make 6 psi my start to spray setting.

you lower the timing to a safe number that cant knock. like 10-13 wot. then lean it out to mid 12's, then use the large jet of the 3 you get with the kit. and that should get your afr back to a mid 11. if your to rich or lean, adjust the maf as need be. then add your timing back once the afr is set up right. should be able to run 21 wot. so ad two degrees at a time till it knocks on ya, then back it off. you found the max timing.

iw as able to go from 14 wot on a gen 3 at 8.5 psi with a ic and a 3.2. to a 2.8 made 13 psi and 21 wot. no kr in sight.

Tap a hole in the SC just after the throttle body.
