Info from those using meth injection
Getting ready to install a meth kit on my procharged vette and needed some info from those of you who have installed meth on your car. The 3 questions that I have are: where is the best place to install the jets/nozzles from a meth kit? Most of the pics I've seen look like people are installing them near the throttle body on the pipe coming up from the intercooler? #2 how large of a tank does someone need? I was looking at a 2 gallon tank from US plastics but I didn't know if that was overkill. And #3 how much meth (or meth/water) do you use per week if not racing the car?
Thanks for any responses.

Meth injection
Im curious as well on using methanol injection. Don't mean to hijack by any means just wondering on the jetting size and if the vette needs to be tuned for it. Have the A&A supercharger ordered already and plan on having it installed next week. Not wanting it for any more power just for insurance mostly, but if it helps than that's a plus for sure! Just want to be safe with the Texas heat around the corner. Any input would be grateful.

The best way is to install it before the Intake Air Temp sensor so it can be tuned in that table to add timing when the temp drops from the spray. Then if something goes wrong it’s a catch net to keep bad from happening.... I would recommend tuning for it if utilized, other wise you may actually lose power. It doesn’t have to be a meth dependent tune if installed and tuned as I suggested, but at least taking full advantage of it when it is. Call and talk with a reputable meth/alcohol system company, they can better tell you what you need for your boost level and set-up.

That's what I needed to hear, before the AIT sensor. Wasn't sure about how to go about the safety part other than adding some safety parts along with the meth/water kit. Makes sense to use what you have on the car along with something else if need or wanting too. I talk to a rep at AEM on there kit, I know there pump is the new version that doesn't pulse but they could really advice me on the best location. I'll get with my tuner today and get things lined out. Thanks for the help

I was looking at the remote reservoir but I'm scared it could fill the passenger compartment with flammable liquid if I get hit. Could be a bad combination with positive wires from the trunk mounted battery.

False economy--
Don't think I would run some unknown Big Box bug squirt in my engine. If one is at all considering the "meth" in their tune, consistancy of the fluid used could be very important.
With Shell and Cheveron near $4 here in Tucson the price of the real deal meth aint much.
