"Can't make 1000hp in Arizona!!!!"
His car made that number in 100* heat. Unless your barometric pressure is 70kPa, it's not going to completely kill a setup. Looking up current weather conditions, it looks to be about 100kPa which is the same as the Midwest with moderate temperature.
I would like to know, in explicit detail, what it is you think makes the "big" difference between different parts of the country.
People in Colorado have reason to bitch.

You can probably pull of some good 700+ dynos out here in the next few months on 91 without meth. Good f-ing luck having that live through the summer though.
That camaro was not retuned and dynoed without meth on 91 out here so you have no clue what it would do.
Google IATs and get back to me. You should know better though.

Dude, I make 1k in Az. That car made it on a crap ton of meth. Cool? It's not doing jack out here with out it though.

There's nothing to know better about except you think you guys are crippled or something. I asked you for an explicit explanation of why your 100+ temperatures are any different from the 100+ temperatures here or in Kansas City. I have plenty of stuff that hits 170-200* temperatures without meth, my car included, that still don't grenade and still make great power.
Don't be quick to say it can't be done. Properly sized and paired setups will make immense power even in hot climates unless the altitude is a factor. Period.

13.5 degrees made 860 on my car. Was fighting belt slip so never tried for more. Just drove my car to a off site work meeting. Turned meth off for the fun of it and beat on it the whole way. Didn't explode.

Jon has a valid question. I got money you won't run that thing off meth on 91 here when it matters and that's the point. 91 is crap gas and it takes a ton of cubes to make up for it. You know I usually avoid meth but it's an easier solution out here. Jon picked up 4* of timing even when on E85.
The point is it's damn hard to make power here on crap gas and 200* IATs. There's several great solutions. I chose E85, you chose meth and Jon chose both.

Don't be a nut swinger Nick, it's fricking October, not August.

I'm going to swap my meth over to run off the flex fuel timing maps so when it is activated it just runs off that map, and when it is off stock timing map. That way no waiting on IAT, no delay.
Another easy solution to possible meth issues that cost a $15 solenoid is to wire a solenoid to your BOV and when meth is off it closes the pressure line to the BOV. Instant boost reduction.

There's a lot of ways to run meth well. Back to the point of the thread, it's not needed but can be beneficial.
Wait until you see how many people use the word NOS around here. Makes me want to punch babies.

I'm excited for you to get the flex sensor running properly here so I can copy you.
