2. You talk about droplets being "too big" due to lack of pump pressure? First of all Meth has a low flashpoint and will vaporize easier then water making them more likely to reach the combustion chamber. Second, If large droplets of meth or water get sucked/forced into the combustion chamber, then they will vaporize there and do the job of removing heat as intended. Granted, problems could occur if the droplets puddled in the intake, which would be less likely for a meth injection system then water thanks to meth's low flashpoint. I really don't understand your reasoning that "If the meth drops were bigger, you could grenade the engine". Are you saying that liquid methanol in the combustion chamber will detonate?

Hey Dave, one more question on the BS3 knock sensors. Is the manufacture or whoever is figuring that out working on LS2 sensor stuff as well? Just extremely curious about that.

Dave was your AF hooked up or is it actually as flat as that graph shows? Congrats btw.
Also, the head lifting comment, from what I understand, that wont happen unless you're detonating like a champ.
