Ill post mine friday, but as far as roots style blowers your not going to gain a tonm, you will add safety for sure but the great thing about boost is being able to add more boost as well as advance the timing.

I would say with a maggie 30rwhp gains can be had with meth post blower. It will greatly help prevent heat soak though.

I agree with itsslow98, i pulled an extra 50 out of my Subie running meth but i installed it for the safety features. Knocks the temps down so much i had to check all my sensors...lol. Does installing a cryo kit to your fmic help any on these cars like on imports?

You have to spray ahead of the supercharger on a Maggie application, which yields lesser results from what I have read. There is no way to inject meth after a Maggie and have it be distributed evenly so you have to spray before the throttle body and have it travel through the supercharger. Although there has never been any reported problems with the coating being worn off the rotors, there has never been any proven benefit to using meth in this manner (that I have seen) either.

I thought about doing this myself, however I was never able to find any concrete evidence that there was any benefit to this..not enough to justify the purchase price anyhow.

Good Luck bro! Let me know how you run the setup. I saw your vid of the race too! Nice run but you need new rubber and you should get him! What are you running in the rear by the way? sorry for the threadjacking...lol

The right way to do it with a roots blower is to dril and tap the lower manifold and inject it that way. Very common on 03-04 cobras. Is it worth it I dont know, but spraying pre blower definetly doesnt yield much because the blower just heats the meth right up anyways.

LOL, i am stuck between Nitto Invo's or BF Goodrich KDW2's... The issue is tirevan said not to do a 275 on stock wheel as the 275 techincally should go on a 9inch and wider wheel and i believe our stock wheels are 8.5... might come down to a 265. I now return you to your previously posted thread...lol
