Methanol questions
On average how much more horsepower could be expected from adding meth injection? I only put down 460 with a ecs kit and am hoping to be closer to 500rwhp.

I would guess around 50 and maybe a little more depending on how aggressive the tune is... meth is not necessarily what is adding the power but the added octane allows the tuner to add more timing without detonation so the end result is more power... this is assuming that you are using it for the purpose of making more power and your tune is meth dependent... if you are using it only as a safety measure then you might not gain anything at all

if you haven't already done so, pull the restrictor plate and that will get you at least a couple more pounds of boost... with that and the addition of meth you should easily hit your goal

Yeah but the engine is not forged. Pulling the restrictor plate plate and the engine probably won't last very long. Lol
