i just found out what meth really is! you could say i was alittle ignorant about meth inj. i put all this effort into turboing and superchagring but i never put any effort into what meth is and how it works...... i remeber a while ago the only people i ever heard who used meth were the STS kit people so i kinda didnt think it applied to me all that much....
well today i had a little talk with snow performance, and found out all about their meth system. i have a new found respect for it adn what it does! i was alwasy under the impression that its like nitrous, it makes power and u have to refill it with not so cheap stuff at special places! i neevr knew u could just order 4 gallons of it for 30 bucks! well i think its a great way to make some extra power more reliably, and they make really good safety systems for it, so im gonna add it to my sticky about turboing/supercharging the reliable way. i would love to get it for myself but im way overbudget

Why didn't you just ask about it here
Its pretty cool stuff, but kinda spooky if the pump quits or something goes wrong like forgetting to arm it/turn it on...
Its pretty good insurance against detonation and allows you to run more timing per PSI than pump gas alone.
You really have to lean out the tune when spraying the meth, you'll be shocked at how much fuel you'll have to remove in order to get your a/f back in line.
You can find it locally at just about any race shop, circle track place for under 3 a gallon.

No joke, 5 gallons has lasted me a long time. One more WW tank refill and i'll have to go get some more, but this 5 gallons has lasted me about 3 months....really used quite a bit in the beginning when tuning it in.

the reason i say 30 buck for 4 gallons is because the price for it online is 15 plus shipping for 4 gallons by mail. i havent really looked around here but im sure i could get it cheaper

My question is with meth... can i have a tune set up at 6 lbs (jsut throwing numbers out for example) and up the boost to 8 and turn the meth on (with the right meth jets)?
Simple... does this make sence? Or is it better to just up timing? Because upping timing for meth use is not so convienent for my stock lt1 pcm...

I've wasted more than my share of motors because of problems in my Meth system.

My meth pump went out at the track and I didn't know it. Luckily it was a cool fall day but I still had a lot of detonation during the pass. I have a pump test button on the controller and now I test the pump before racing.
