It's designed to kick on when you need it to keep from detonating. Unless your rolling around at full throttle all the time you won't be wasting it away.

Well that might change everything.... How much does that stuff cost and around OKC where do you get it?

I found a pretty good read. Don't mind the source.

Meth comes on at boost, I have mine to inject at 4psi until it gets back below 4psi. Driving around if I don't get into boost it doesn't use an ounce of meth. It's like $5/gal at Redrock which is at I235 and 50th, I don't use half a gallon with a night at the track.

My car stalls to 3k to daily drive at any kind of pace. It comes on with boost, and boost won't come on at 2,500 unless you're going WOT.

its not rpm activated it's boost referenced, when i had my maggie like others have said it came on at 3-4 psi. and my meth kit was snow. i think their kits are very high quality. i personally ran 50/50 water meth, which i got by mixing winter mix washer fluid with heet.

edit:well everyone beat me to the punch but you get the idea

Yeah its not a rpm window switch, we knew that.

I was just stating what rpm I hit leaving a stop light normally and he was saying it shouldn't hit boost under those conditions...

Get a meth kit. I like my AlkyControl and so do hundreds if not thousands of other people.

For a nice DD-able setup thats simple, cheap (relatively speaking) and effective, go with a stock crank, forged compstar rods, and about a -4cc forged 'flat top' (valve relief only) piston with truck heads (either 317 or 035). This should get you in the ~9.5:1 SCR range.

For tuning, if you decide MAF, Glen Lipinski is a great guy and an awesome tuner. He doesn't do SD tho. If you want SD, look into XP racing.

Good luck

I have been DDing my turbo car with meth for over a year and a half, and I still uses 91. I am also in the OKC area, and I would be glad to show you how the entire system works.

On a FI car you should use SD, and it works great for all weather conditions and can still be a DD. At XP Racing the owner will be able to explain what will be best, be able to hook you up, and be able to tune your car.

The OKGMP website is good for getting local help and info on these cars. The XP Racing guy is on the board all the time.
