As much as you want, but the timing will suffer lol. Adding meth will help and then you can run decent boost... but its not worth running high boost and crap timing on straight 91.
On my stock bottom end LS3 I am 10.8:1 SCR and run 16psi on 93 + meth

I also agree 100% on putting a different gear in it and overbuilding fuel setups.
The 640 car was miserable to drive with the 4.10s, now with the 3.73s it isn't bad but I'd go 3.42s personally, but it's not mine.
And I'm with Shownomercy, you'll want more...always...

I just the pan off about a week ago because of oil leak issues. Everything appears to be good now!!
I already have all poly mounts and just bought a BMR cross member relocation bracket for the torque arm. Ordered it Nov 20th and it still hasn’t even shipped!! Starting to get frusterated!! Thanks for the input!

Hey guys,
I bought a electrical boost/vacuum autometer cobalt gauge (6159). I just want to confirm that the provided 3 bar MAP sensor (2249) can be a direct replacement for my LT1 24x ignition system MAP sensor? Just want to make sure before I install it!
Thanks,
Geeg.

Hey guys,
Here’s a bit of an update:
So it’s been a long process, I got the car up and running thanks to Arun from CCperormance here in Canada. I was talking to him and he was explaining the major power loss from my intercooler and piping set up (twins). So I ended up replacing all the piping and did a eBay FMIC. I hacked out the front bumper of my TA with hopes to grab some extra HP. I purchased a twin disk McLeod clutch, that’s another story/thread. So basically all that’s left for my build, and it’s still in the air is meth system. What’s a good straight forward system to get? I’m assuming a single nozzle kit will be sufficient even if I bump my boost? Haven’t see any install videos or threads but there must be something out there! I would like to just use my windshield washer container!!

What makes you so certain you need a meth system?
I have a devilsown pump in my trunk with one of their tanks. It would be triggered by my boost controller at I think 5 or 10 psi, all on or all off kinda simple.
http://www.alcohol-injection.com/en/...tion-pump.html
Use a 4an SS braided line to run up front to a nozzle from them as well. I believe its like a 14lph or something stupid nozzle size.
All that being said, I never ended up needing it cause my tuner likes to tune without any meth being required. If your tuner wants a meth setup on your car, ask them what controller they like best working with, some are better than others in terms of tuning for.
(and please do not use the meth to supplement fueling up top)

Hey guys, I have some quick questions about my set up. See original post for specifics. I am running the 12 rib 7.65” crank pulley and the 4.50” blower pulley. I spun the car up to 6,000 rpm today and only saw 5lbs of boost. I was hoping for at least 8lbs. I ended up putting a FMIC with aluminum piping on it and all T boltclamps, which are all tight. As far as the belt, I believe it’s set upright and tight enough, I sent Bob and Brute Soeed a video of me pulling on the belt and he thought it seemed ok as well. Is my blower pulley to big to be getting 8lbs maybe?

I have the Devils own Pump and Dual Nozzles. I believe 2 smaller nozzles is better than one big. I use the windshield washer tank as the reservoir. I think of Meth as insurance with no downside, so I would always run meth.

Will likely pick up a lot more power from 6k to 6500rpm and be closer to 8psi.
