Exclamation need help for BIG BOOST !!!!!!!

hey guys, im not too far away from finishing my car . im trying to find out what is the best way to go about to run high boost safely , low boost will be tuned on pump gas , then i want to see what my options are for gettin the most out of my car+turbo safely. maybe like meth/alky injection, nitrous,or jus carrying around a small jug of c-16 race gas , so i can run higher boost at the track or for that real cocky street bike i run across all the timeits all forged 383 lt1 with 76mm up front. thanx

You don't need race gas. You can do just fine with meth injection ,intercooler is even a bit optional with meth injection.
Assume your compression is reasonably boost friendly anyway..8.5 to 9.5?

^^^ on an 8.5:1 cr motor you will not need meth or race gas to about 20 psi. so meth would be a waste of money for him unless he is planning on running that much boost. a 9.5:1 cr motor is a different story.

Pump gas + 5 gal of Q16= too lean and Boom. Pump + 5 gal of C16= happy.

Do you want boost or power ??


Personally, I'd rather power.

well you should know i want more power without as much boost , but im thinking i want to be able to flip a switch say maybe meth/alky and run on higher boost then be able to turn around and be back on the street tune on pump gas .

ive run 21.6 psi on pump 93 bp. it was a little too much and on the verge being a hair lean. going with a meth kit and should be able to run 20psi all day on pump+meth, hopefully 25-30psi on 110 and meth. motor is 8.1:1 compression 364cu stock 6.0 heads, O ringed block.
