Exclamation Alky kit

Is it absolutely necessary that you have to get a new dynotune or tune period when you throw a alchohol kit on your car.My tune is super conservative and a little rich im only running 6.5lbs of boost i want to put a alchohol kit on the car and just up the boost to about 8or 9lbs can i do this safely without having to change the tune?thx n advance

Yes you need a retune. You will be way to rich if you do not. Your VE table on meth will look like it fell off of a cliff. You can also push more timing.

I ran 8psi on pump gas(91 oct here) with no problems. I wouldnt really worry about a meth kit until you run more boost IMO
