Works great when it works, but when it doesnt things can get scary really quick for your motor...

I hear you man but all in all it helps a ton in the car. Plus Julio has been a big help and has done more than I could ever ask for in helping me... Great guy and would buy from him on a set up any day.. This stuff is just parts and parts do go out. Robert

So because a switch fails you would never run meth injection?

Meth is a no brainer if you have a competent tuner. If my meth ever fails and iats get to high my timing go to basically zero to help save the motor. I wouldn't boost a car without meth and the only meth kit that should be used the Julios/alky control/ecs

Me too. Dead battery can do something to the controller. Disconnect battery,charge,reinstall and all is good.

When it pumps out you will see the meth light on. Not a common problem.

Since you cant let it go because of your own comprehension problems. Fine.....

I apologize and I am sorry you can't understand.

Better?

For those of us who are greedier with boost, timing, making HP.. Or have issues like low octane available to us aka 90 as Premium.. the only option is race gas or meth.

When your at 500 RWHP and have 93 octane.. run low timing.. why should there be an issue. The only issue is 500 gets old and you want 600.. then 700.. then 800.. as you keep upping the bar you will get to the limits of pump fuel quickly.

Then this thread starts.. I need meth or race gas.

And the guy wanting 800 on 90 octane can "tune" around the situation.

So it is what it is. Having/not having the option has its issues.

I might as well say.. Thats why I dont run a boosted car so I dont have to deal with all this stuff
