Will I use less meth with the progressive kit because it is not a set amount spraying at all times?

Is there a problem if too much meth is used?

Progressive is the way to go. It certainly makes tuning easier.

If something happens all the meth is cooling the internal parts down 60 too 70 deg. That will help alot in #7 and #5 hole in these car that is a weak point. Do the meth just for insurance.
