Default Adding 2 psi and 100% meth

Hey guys in a week or so I will be adding 2 more psi of boost for a total of 9 psi and 100% methanol. Setup now is a&a si trim small blower cam longtubes ls6 manifold put down 512 hp 484ft lbs. Adding meth and 2 mire psi of boost and a little timing, any predictions of increase at the wheels.

you're making right now, what I'm making @ 9psi with meth(though it's only there for safety).

50 more hp would be easy and safe IMO.

Been awhile since she's been tuned, I don't even remember. She's tuned for longevity not power though. When I went from 8 psi to 9 with the flip-drive, I added the meth strictly for safety. 50+ months, 27k miles, and she just got done with a 2k mile road trip last week. Still hanging together.

You can be at 600hp with meth, you should only need 1lb + meth to get another 75 ponies, remember stock bottom ends don't like to much boost! GL. Do you have a goal in mind?
