Default Procharged use Meth or Nitrous ?

15 A8 Procharged and made 534rwhp 499rwt all else stock.

What would be the best option:

1. Meth and up the boost to around 10#'s

2. Nitrous outlet plate kit w/ 100 shot

Ran a 11.1 @ 126 a couple weeks ago on stock tires and was hoping for a 10.99

Would like to run 10.30's and already have DR's waiting for the additional power

Nitrous will get you there easier plus it's easier to upgrade the low side system. Meth is such a terrible solution to lack of fuel.

How about (I'm greedy lol) a 150-175 shot with upgraded low side system ? Enough fuel ?

With an upgraded low side you should be able to run a big shot

I dont know if adding a 150 shot on top of a blower on pump gas would be advisable. Fuel may be one issue, but octane will be the next issue for sure.

Looking like a 150 shot. Would it be better to do LSFP or a stand alone fuel cell ?

It's much easier to keep a surplus of methanol in the garage than to visit the speed shop every time you need a nitrous refill - which could take a couple of hours (the bottles are frozen before filled.)

But, the need to rebuild the methanol pump every year or two may turn some off.
