Close to C16 (in the 116~118 octane range) with 93~94 octane gas. At least that's why the article that was written in the latest issue of PHR as they sat down with John? Snow of Snow Meth. Of course this is dependant upon certain factors, but studys according to the article said it can be this high.

i would sugest just geting the base single nozzle kit and learing with that. then later if you really want to get nuts change it around some.

a single small nozzle got me an extra 90hp so far. i am going to go with a larger nozzle or a 2nd nozzle and wouldn't be suprized to see 200rwhp over pump. the question is how much do you really need? for most 700+rwhp is enough. then later if it isn't go with more nozzles, maybe even 8 of them.

I think 8 injectors would be perfect distribution, unlike our manifolds tendency to run leaner on certain cylinders with the ls6. I also think you could run more before diminishing returns, closer to the valve. This would be the ultimate set up, ive planned this when i do my next motor, along with a larger fuel cell set up, verses one gallon.

Default drinking straight alcohol seems to work better

You can but i would not, water has infinite octane and cools well, but is not fuel and its corrosive "to metal" if over used, why not get all the cooling and fuel you can supplement. Meth has very good octane and cooling. Ive had zero issues with meth and corrosion, with rubber or plastic as it vaporizes instantly. Water bogs if you use alot very easily,hence you can only get so aggresive. You can get much more aggresive with meth with out bogging.
