school me on METH kits I trying to get an understanding on how meth kits
work n what is the best kit to fit me
n my build, I know that meth lowers ur iat's but that's about it. I'm in the dark w FI as this is my first time ever messing w it.
car is stock 50k bottom end. epp\ brute speed blower cam, 241 or 317 heads not sure yet, full supporting valve train, gmpp single plane intake w low pro elbow, nw 90mm tb, 60lbs injectors, n will have twin pumps. will be runing a P1 at 10-11 lbs of boost

Yes...there are ways around that though. I run a progressive it and it sprays before the IAT sensor. If for some reason you run out of meth the computer will pull timing because it doesnt see the IAT drop. This sould NOT be your failsafe...just an extra measure for "just incase something breaks" I think methanol is some of the best stuff for boosted street cars. Its a simple kit to install as well...Mine is set up so that at 2psi of boost the pump kicks on ..by 5psi its spraying its full potential or 100%

ok so if ur not pulling boost over a certain psi it's not going to spray understoud. if I had a per say 1 gallon tank for the meth about
how long does it take to use that gallon up? also which kit would u recommnd me for my car? I know there is a bunch out there.
I have a 1.5 gallon tank and it lasts over a month usually...now thats just highway encounters. It really depends on how much you keep your foot in it lol Look at the cooling mist kit...I really like it and I've had dealings with snow kits and some others and like it most. Meth is usually around $30-33 for a 5gal can. That usually lasts me a couple months and I'm pretty hard on my car. I DD it so I see pesky porches and bmw's daily

I have the Alky Contol meth kit... 5 gallon drum lasted me 6 months, and my foot is in it all the time! mine sprays at 4psi... but as long its under that it doesnt spray, and if you run the tank dry and boost, you will damage your motor!
Some people add meth to tune more aggressively. They'll add timing to make more power. If you didn't add timing when you first put the kit on you'll be fine. Some guys just use it as a octane booster to be able to run more boost and cool the IAT's. If you didnt tune for it originally you'll be fine if you stop running it.
If you don't change the tune, you won't get any more HP out of it. The benefit will be more octane and lower IATs as already stated. Octane will adds more towards your saftey margin to avoid detonation. Lower IATs will keep you from heat soaking and enable you to run consistantly and mantain the power you already have after each pass/lap. Both are very good things.
Once I get heat soak my power starts going down unitl I cool off.

Question tho, if you tuned for the methanol kit say with a 346ls1 T76 setup, how much more HP could you get out of spraying it? Is there an average increase? Would bigger cubes and bigger turbo have anymore benefit to a kit or would you have to spray more at once? Just curious what the max benefits could be if used to its full potential
