Do you need to tune for meth or alcohol injection? If so what are you tuning for.
Thanks,

2 ways.....
1) conservative....bring afr's to low to mid 12's and add meth for high 11's to low 12's
Results = lower iat's + more timing = more power, less chance of detonation ...but if meth runs out, you're still ok
2) Tune with meth to low to mid 12's, more power.etc. due to lower iat's. mor timing and higher octane, but if meth runs out kaboom could set in
You can also do it the aussie method and go for high 12's, low 13's
If you stay on top of things or compete, then go with #2 otherwise, #1 is safer

Good Advice! You can also set your tune so that if your meth runs out and your IAT's go up, it pulls timing. That would also provide a cushion.
