How much extra boost can you run with meth injection?
Like the title says - I'm running 10 psi on my LPE TT right now, 13 psi on high boost. Could I run 13 psi on pump gas with meth inj.? What do ya'll think?

With a small shot of meth I am running 14.5 - 14.8 with IAT's below ambient and no hint of KR at all.
What amazes me is how much of a difference you can feel between 13#'s and 14.5, its substantial 80 - 130mph is almost instantanious. When I get my backup trans and T.C. were going to up the boost a little bit more here shortly say 16#'s when I can get back on the dyno. FYI I am running straight Methanol and not mixing with water.

I'm running 18-20lbs on my 427 S/C on pump gas and a dual nozzle kit.
It just depends on how much you tune in.

Between you and Doug, my mind is made up! I gots to get me some meth injection. I can't believe you're running upwards of 14.5 psi on pump gas - that is insane!!! How much power do you have at those power levels?I've got 620 rwtq, and almost 700 rwhp on 13 psi of boost with race gas. If I could have this kind of power with meth and pump gas, I'm doing it!
Isn't is sickening how fast you get used to the power? My car pulls hard on 585 rwhp, but I'm just not satisfied with it! 3rd and 4th pull hard - but they could pull harder! I'm currently hooking 2nd gear with my pilot sports, so I clearly need some extra poop!! I'm gonna run her dry of 94 this weekend and fill half a tank of 100, and turn up the boost - see how well I can hook that power level - if all goes well, I've got some serious decisions to make!
Thanks for the feedback - MAN I LOVE THIS FORUM!!! You guys rule! I thought the ZR-1 forum was good, but you guys have got them beat!
