Choosing a fuel source/system
Ok guys I will be starting my SC install soon as the holidays approach i will have some more free time available to tackle this job.
One thing i have been leary about is fuel.
There are a lot of options and I would like to see what would be the best for my needs/situation. A little background on the car. Florida temps, mostly a weekend nice weather car. Street driving mostly with a few spirited romps here n there...
99 vert mods will be:
Vortech S-trim V3 with either a 3.40" or 3.60" pulley
(whatever is the smallest i can get away with and still be safe)
All the supporting mods for the S/C install i.e. racetronix harness, bap,LPE pump, 60lb inj.
Fmic
TSP headers
catless exhaust
LS6 intake mani w/ ported TB
looking to get between 5-600hp i think that would satisfy me until i go built motor later in the future.
Here is what i'm thinking is my fuel options;
1. Keep the 60lb inj and just run 93 pump gas
2. Meth and 93 pump
3. E-85 (upgrade inj and pump) what pump what inj size?
4. 93 pump and torco with every fuel up
5. Race gas (station has 100oct on pum @ $8 a gal) leaded i believe
That's where I'm at...
Any opinions I am open ears

Doug, I tried to look at the meth kit instructions on your site and it's broken.

We are updated all of our instructions on the web site, many will have video instructions too. Sorry about that, I'll have our IT guy take a look at it.
Basically though, if you can wire in a car stereo, you can wire in a meth kit.
Feel free to call or PM if you have any questions.
edit; I just checked the instructions on the web site and it is coming up for me?
