Default When meth kits fail.........

You run like this.......



If it's tuned properly for meth the setup pulls timing and adds fuel-and you save your parts to run another day.

This is the 347 800+rwhp D1SC combo

Cause of failure-vacuum line came off the map sensor.

I stole your IAT enrichment and timing retard setting off of Shane's tune and use it on all meth dependant tunes now. He had a meth pump go down and car went 9.0 air fuel and 0 timing to save the motor and still ran a 6.0 1/8 mile pass.lol

Great job and thanks for the info

So wait, meth injection isn't this dangerous practice that the "good tuners" tell us all to avoid?

Nice work

And my original tuner didn't relocate my IAT on my C6 car with meth on my car, and some of my friends cars(forums rules. ). Damn, I was dumb and glad I decided to switch tuners.

Good job Arun. That's a 9 second car for sure with a clean run.

Those dumba$$ tuners in schaumburg,il(Tony the tuner Haha what a joke) that f'ed up my car told me his backup for me if i ran meth was to have an engine ready because meth will destroy my engine and is not good and is not the way to get reliable Hp. What dumb mother f'ers. God i'm so glad i tune my own car now, because of them.
Since i tuned my own car for meth i went through at least 10gals in the past 6 mouths. Love the smell of it after a hard run.

Having a tuner that really knows what he is doing with a meth car is truly GOLDEN!

Only so much protection you can put into the tune. There is a point where you're better off running race fuel.

Some good points have been made regarding pulling timing and adding fuel as a failsafe if something goes wrong with the meth delivery.

I was searching for the Fuel Enrichment vs IAT and apparently I don't have that parameter in my 1999 operating system. I have the upgraded 3 bar OS but the IAT enrichment doesn't appear.

Is there anything that I can do to gain this option? I already pull a lot of timing if there are high IAT temps, but it would be nice to be able to add some fuel to make up for the loss of methanol.

Race fuel at the track or on the street? What happens if the fuel pump fails during a run? I don't think there is a way to take that into account.
