Default Running a D1SC, looking into water/meth kit- what do i do??

Im looking into some water/meth kits - but what all do they do as for performance?? Im looking into doing this also for the fact that i can run 85 test, and with the injection kit- it will increase points from 85 test- to be running 95-100test gas.. What are the major advantages of buying a kit? what do they cost? And what all will i get out of doing this to a car that is already at 660 hp, 543 rwhp?? Stock Bottom end- D1SC 8pounds..
Is this just a stupid idea? Ive seen quite a few people doing this to their setups..
Need help..suggestions??

You need to call Bob at Exotic Performance Plus.com and all of your questions can be answered.

You might consider saving for a new engine, 660hp is far beyond the limit of this one. It will break and when it does with a lot of hp , it may be pretty harsh.

The meth is a ok way to providing a secondary fueling, but its more so providing a safe barrier in the variance of e85.

Also, checkout the thread in the link below. There's a ton of information on there and Bob also sells these kits as well...

So what im seeing it to forge the bottom end, before i add meth to it?
I wouldnt be able to run water/meth even if i kept the boost down to 7.9pounds? I guess i need to do some more research.. I was looking into it for longing the life of my block/pistons,etc.. but if its going to make it to where its harder on parts- i guess i have to save up for a 427....

If your allready making 660rwhp, that is a ton on a stock engine. Obiously the tune-up is safe enough so far, but if you wanted to you could add it. I would just run brand name fuel and not worry about it.

A new motor is right around the corner for you, it may be a week or it may be a year, time is borrowed for sure.

Yep.. Guy up top had it wrong..
Well- ive looked at more stuff, and it does look as though most of the guys running these water/meth, etc setups have forged bottom ends, and 402s 408s 427s etc etc.. It would probably be a waste of time for me.. Im going to call a few people tomorrow and find out fo sho..
