Alky / Water injection?

I am about to remove the twins on my p1sc 02 Z and go FMIC and install a new fuel system. I am seeing about 7 1/2-8psi now and around 550hp, will my boost go up with the FMIC? If so I guess I might need to lower the boost so I dont go over 550hp on stock block. would it be a good idea to put Alky / Water injection on my setup to make it safer or will it just hurt me by making more power then the stock 346 can handle?

At 7.5psi you shouldn't see a big increase in boost with a larger IC...the better eff of the large IC will offset the minor boost increase...I wouldn't bother with Alky injection at that low of a boost level either.....bolt on the IC and enjoy safer hp with cooler IAT's.

I made about 45rwhp more with the alky injection on 10psi with a p1sc. But that was also b/c I was runnin 5 more degrees of timing then w/o alky injection. This was on the stock ATI intercoolers.

just remember if that alky system fails or you run out of meth and your car is tuned for more timing you will detonate and hurt your motor. Just something to keep in mind.

A friend of mine melted his forged pistons.

(sounds silly huh?)

I'm just comparing the two, meth and fuel. Either one can cause motor damage if they fail.

I was not wanting to really run it for more "timing" or boost just to make the IAT 's lower and make the car that much more safer under boost I really dont want any more power because I am around 550rwhp on stock block. would it make the car alot safer under boost. or would it put me over the safe/to much power mark with the 18 degree timing I am already at.
