Anyone measured Alky/Meth distribution to each runner/cylinder?
This is really a two part question.
1. I'm concerned with placement of the IAT if I break it out. There's lots of flow and turbulence in the intake. Most say put the IAT opposite the meth nozzle but at WOT and high RPM, will it even reach the IAT?
2. If you point the nozzle anywhere other than midway from left bank/right bank. I have to assume one bank will be favored for getting more meth. Specially considering the bend just prior to the throttle body.
I realize short of 8 injectors, there is no way to balance but we can at least try to atomize and balance left and right banks with nozzle direction. THOUGHTS?

My thoughts are that you overthink everything... Man, put that S/C on that car and drive it. I respect the fact you want to "protect" your investment, but, Duuuuuuude!!!! It's mechanical, anything can happen. I've got 700whp WITH NO METH and my car hasn't broken yet, and I drive the **** out of it.
You seem like a super nice guy, but, to me it takes the fun out of this whole modding a car to over analyze every single thing you do to it... Not trying to be an a$$ just offering an unbiased opinion to your question. Take this reply for what it's worth and enjoy your car instead of trying the build the "perfect" car.

Clark, I didn't know you were a network engineer. So am I! Hahaha

This is how mine is setup. I would assume that the turbulence is necessary to not directly spray the IAT sensor. You want a measurement of the mix, not just the methanol.

Talked to Steven at LMR (he's going to do my tune) and he suggested with 9psi, to just leave the IAT in the MAF. It's a better compromise to get a true pre meth reading than a false wet meth reading. He said he can tune just fine and my safety net is to monitor my meth indicator lights and rebuild the pump every 2 years.
On a similar side note, I was suspecting the IAT wouldn't see the meth on colder days anyway so where's the safety in that. Besides, on hot days, I trust the meth will work and no knock equals lots of timing equals lots of power. As C7BB says, just install it and enjoy it.

My car in Texas heat without meth is zero worries for me because I trust his tune. I'm certain that your build will be solid and trouble free, so enjoy it and keep it simple. Only regrets you'll have is why you didn't do it sooner.
