I love meth kits and the ability they give to make big power on crap fuel. The real problem is relying on that agriculture pump to prime the line and get meth there quickly and do it every time. I have never had a problem with a kit yet, but I dread the day that it happens on something that is running 2 or more big nozzles, and making 1000hp on pump junk.

by checking engine dip stick , you can manage it, along with a/f meter
How much milkiness are we talking about? Ever since the meth was installed on my car I have the milky oil fill cap syndrome. This could be to answer to my mystery milk problem.

That's the advantage of FJO Racing's kit. The pump turns on in a few different modes (manual, by MAP, auto - which means it stays on for a programmable amount of time), and they use a high-pressure solenoid to pulse (PWM) in the right amount of meth based on 2D or 3D tables that you can set. Can hook directly to your WBO2 sensor too, to hit specific AFR targets with the meth. With the pressure sensor option right at the nozzle you can alert and signal a major timing pull if the meth is not hitting the proper pressure.

Remember that those guys rebuild their motors very frequently.

I agree, but they also run 100% Methanol 100% of the time. We're only running 10-40% Methanol 5% of the time.

They also run different ring gaps to help with oil contamination.
