Meth vs nitrous on a roots What are the pros and cons of each?
Since it is on a roots boost will be pretty set by the pulley I am thinking pull a few degrees and spray vs having to run meth all the time

I had meth on a roots/cam cts-v. It got totaled and I bought another ctsv with a roots without cam/meth. The difference in the upper rpms is substantial. You won't be spraying meth all the time, just when boost gets up high, which is when temps rise. I guess I'm saying it worked very well for me. I'm planning to put the meth kit and cam from the totaled car onto the new one.
I wouldn't add nitrous because you're going to have to add fuel somehow, and get that setup reliable and predictable. Methanol is like upping the octane of your fuel and it cools down the air.

Yes, it was spraying into the elbow about 6 inches in front of the tb.
Both meth and n20 will cool the charge, but meth allows you to run more timing due to the higher octane where nitrous will cause you to need to pull more timing and add more fuel.

how fast is meth used? It will be boost refenced but at driving 50+ miles on one tank of meth might get hairy. Dont want to run out of meth halfway home and go boooom

So boost reference the meth pump to 300rpm before full boost. 3.93 or 3.73 rear gear with an atuo is gonna be slow sailin on the freeway.
100% meth on 93 octane will give me about 108oct right?
K Bell and Whipple are twinscrew blowers. Roots type blower include Maggies, E'brock, and the blowers used on ZR1 vettes and CTS-V caddies. Twinscrews and Roots superchargers, while both sitting on top of the motor, are totally different breeds of cats.
using nitrous and meth at the same time is not going to improve much. I would use meth on a supercharger. if it was a big turbo and required some spooling time then I would consider nos.

It is in fact a roots derived twin screw. Does this change the effect of the meth?
