Do I need meth for this setup?
Do I need meth for this setup? Im building a forged 346 to be a 9:1 cr, and want to know if I need meth or not? I have a t76 turbo and plan to run 13-15psi of boost to obtain my goal power level. I would rather not mess with meth, but wondered if this compression level was safe to run without it

METH is awesome..................
BUT............
If you don't use the right fail safes it can be disastrous!!!!!!!
ie boost reduction upon pump fail/low fluid level, timing reduction upon pump fail/low fluid level, map switching, or any combination of the aforementioned 3 fail safes. The more fail safes the better.

Place the meth nozzle in front of the IAT sensor, That way when it sees the cooler charge it will ramp timing up. the fail safe way to do it its to tune it to only ramp up timing when it sees the cooler temps from the meth spraying. Thats how mine was done for some years now. So in the event the meth fails or u run out nothing will happen. Thats why its better to tune meth in as a cooler vs a huge power adder.

Funny the word failsafe only applies to meth injection systems.
No other part of your car uses that word.So how you buld your meth system is important IF your relying on it. Just like when you build your fuel system. You get what you pay for and the attention you give it.

Hehehe.. drop power level.. forget that noise 
as temptation and greed are always there.. just one more pound.. just one more degree of timing.. just one more You cant tell me car is running 9.05 at 155 and you want that 8.99 that you wont turn it up 
We all do.. 
Thats the problem with boost.. you get hooked like a fish on a treble hook.. cant let go and want more.. I have guys at 40+ PSI boost on pump gas.. thats over the deep end.. but guess what.. its the choice they made.

Power is addicting.
If there is more power MOST WILL want to at least try it.
That is true for N/A, juice, or boost just boost is alittle easier to add more...and meth since it tends to make a given power point 'safer' the temptation seems to be greater
And I agree you don't need meth but if you have it I recommend you use it.
