    I have to agree with the group, BLACKEDOUT. It took a lot of work and tuning before I was able to run the 3.25" safely.

    DuBob has done all of my tuning and my major modifications (cam, headers, exhaust, etc) I strongly suggest looking around for a local club and/or someone with a tuner. The way your car is set up right now, it'd probably run better with the 3.4".

    Your getting tons of knock right now. Just putting in alky injection, depending on what kit you get (some run off of windshield washer fluid) will not get you up to 110 octane, like they said, everyone whose had one, had to tune for it, THEN you might see gains. Even after you tune for this you won't be gaining much since you don't have any headers or done anything with your very restrictive front exhaust manifolds. Running one jet of water through your throttle body/spacer will not drop the temps by 70 degrees, then after this you have the supercharger which makes the most heat warming it back up.

    The most effective way I've seen is to put the jet in the intake manifold, which requires some tedious work.

    You have to start with the basic mods and work yourself up, just slapping on water injection will not help you much, plus what happens if it fails or runs out?

    Sorry if it sounds like I was being a dick, but your car should not have a 3.25 on it without a tuned pcm/headers/cam/intercooler, it will blow your engine.
