Default water meth on p1sc1 procharger??

What kind of benefit would I get with water meth on my procharger system? Would it be worth the money

Benefit is cooler, denser charge as well as helping to keep the pistons and combustion chamber cooler.

On a higher boost setup, I say it's worth it's weight in gold.

x2^ The Alchemist^ knows his Water/Meth real good. Lol

The higher the boost the more gains you will see. What fuel will you be running?

i hear some of my ricer friends , not really ricers but have 4 cylinders and they tell me in their 4 cyl tuner worlds they are getting away from it . Like tuners are shying people away from it . My local tuner is amazing and has done many high profile cars and fixed high profile shops cars . And he isnt afraid to use it at all .

Water meth is some great stuff , allowing you to run more boost or to run the same boost and have consistent results , aka sitting in the staging lanes getting sky high iats and then when the meth kicks in the go back down to really cool .

Definitely worth it. Drops the charge temps and allows you to run more timing. Alkycontrol is all we ever put on vehicles and have yet to have issues with it. Julio has great customer service as well.

Well that why I ask im only pushing 5psi out of my procharger with 91 pump gas and really up the boost without upgrading to the 8 rib setup and that is pricey so I was wondering if this would help me out.

you could put the money into a thermostat, a spal fan, and just run water. and say forget the methanol. I think anything above 7-8lbs should have it though.

Are you intercooled now, should be able to run 7/9 psi with 6 rib and their ICs?

Methanol will typically drop the inlet air temps 35 to 40 degrees immediately after it kicks in, it makes a big difference in hp. With the OP's 91 octane methanol would help out quite a bit. Bob
