Default --Fresh Dyno Video-- 471.7 RWHP, 463.4 RWT! **Meth injected Bolt on LS3**

Since I keep a few five gallon jugs of meth around for the C5, I figured I'd try Charlie's new Meth kit for NA cars.

I rolled up to RPM Motors yesterday afternoon, and left that night with a few more ponies!!

I know a few of the fellas will question my Dyno #s and all, but I'm having a ball with this car, and that's the most important thing to me!! I dynoed at 458 RWHP and 445 RWT for a baseline with all my previous bolts ons. We then added the meth, some timing, and took away a bit of fuel. I'm still running my same 91/Torco mix, but now have a bit of meth to cool her on hard runs!

I must stress that this combo is my choice to run, and has been street/track/canyon proven for over 10,000 miles.

I will also give MANY MANY thanks to Charlie of RPM Motors, for his patience, knowledge, and expertise when it comes to getting the most out of every car he deals with!!

Thanks George!

Charlie has worked with a Meth vendor to get their NA kit to work with the Vette.

I run 100% Meth, and use the stock C6 ww tank. It looks pretty big, and you get to use the stock low ww sensor to know when to fill the tank.

Thanks Buddy!!!

The car pulls VERY nice!!! It was a fun ride home last night with the cool night air...

The meth kit is around $500.00, plus install.


Your car looks GREAT!!!!

We have a canyon run/model shoot in the AM, so more pics and video on the way!!!

I just got back from a killer canyon run! The car pulled nice and strong, and ran great!

The weather was perfect, and so was the model for the shoot!!!

Its an awesome innovation.

How does the kit trigger? There is no boost switch controlling it. It sounds like a have-to for N2O users too.

What meth do you use? I read some people saying that ordinary windsheild wiper fluid is good for the application....you never lose the wipers on your car.

I dont know much about meth kits yet but I am interested. Again: great job with a great tuner. Actually Charlie stopped surprising me long ago.

Thank You Very Much Spin!! Charlie never ceases to surprise me!

The Kit has a controler that get's it info from a "T" in to the Vacuum line, as well as a wire that is tied into the tach line.

I get 5 gallon jugs of Meth straight from Torco when I get my order. I run straight meth with my setup, and went through quite a bit on the canyon run yesterday. The meth is programable and progressive depending on the RPM/vacuum. We preset the meth, then redialed the fuel and timing back in on Charlie's load dyno.

After running the car on meth all day yesterday, it just seemed to run a bit cleaner and felt very smooth on the power!
We had a photo shoot/run off, on a closed course. We got a few pulls in:

Some people use it, but they've told me you have to run it through a filter before using it.. Not sure what the deposits are, but you don't want them in your motor.. Id be hesitant mainly b.c we're not sure how strict their QC control is on that stuff.. whats the variation of meth mixture from jug to jug?

I run straight meth in my ecs kit.. i go through about 1.5L/0.33gal of meth for every tank of gas.. i drive around with 2 - 1.5L water bottles (each 0.33 gallons) in the trunk filled with meth (incase i go on a long drive).. topoff the windshield washer container every time i get gas (1 bottle = 0.33 gallons).. Some people think its a pain, i don't think so.. I just make sure to drive around with it incase I runout and fill it up all the time..

5 gallons = $25-$50, depending on where you get it.. SK speed in NY charged $50 for a 5 gallon tank, and e-town was $5 a gallon.. Colorado might be cheaper..

i use a Snow Performance kit on my Subaru turbo (added 25whp) i also upgraded the kit with Safe Injection which senses flow though the system. if no flow is sensed a warning lamp (red led) on the dash alerts you it also has a (green led) to show you when it's working. i have been using the system for over a year and a half with no issues. since the car is a year round daily driver i use the blue windshield washer fluid which is 50/50 for cold weather plus it's cheap and readily available. the Subaru's use a boost solenoid which senses boost levels and ramps up the flow accordingly. i plan on demodding the car soon to sell it and i will keep the Snow system in case i go the FI route someday.

It is not a snow or alky control kit. It's geared toward NA cars, but not custum for me. I'll check on the name.

The kit does have a filter, and I always run straight meth from Torco...

Meth is quite reliable when done right. I've had it on my 98 for a few years now. I also have a small green light that goes on to tell me the Meth is working.
