I would definatly throw a wideband on the car before i switch to high boost again. The whole methanol system sounds familar, we did a car that would pull great at 6psi and then he wanted meth on it. We added methanol and when it sprayed it (1psi hobbs switch) it ran like crap. It obiously didnt like the methanol and it ran pig rich. But then again, whos to say its not the springs.

My soloution, monitor it on high boost and see what happens. I would get on a dyno to verify the springs are causing it. Also, hook a wideband up on highboost, try with or without meth. Monitor knock while doing this if you can.

Sorry for the late response. I did fix the problem. There was some kind of relay underneath the dash near the glove box - had a loose wire connected to it. Plug the wire back on better and that was it. Runs great now. But Thanks everyone for the help - I really appreciate it
