Meth on ECS kit question
Just bought on alky methanol kit for my c6 Z and it is being put on next week. Has anyone used the alky kit with the ECS supercharger setup? If so what kind of gains did you see?

I'm interested to hear the answer to this as well. How much rwhp are you at and how much boost. Has it been boosted for a while? I want to do mine but it makes me a little nervous.

Just adding Meth is not going to give you any real HP gains. What it does is allows the tuner to give you a much more aggressive tune safely. I had Meth installed with the supercharger by ECS and ended up with 660 rwhp. If I went without Meth the tune would have given me around 560 rwhp.

You have to relocate your IAT as well if you are running a MAF Tune.

Looks like most questions have been answered here, but I you have any more feel free to ask away.
As for making more power, yes timing can be added once meth is installed, however we have found better longevity from keeping timing down and raising boost. All it takes with an ECS kit is to open up the restrictor plate a little. Two 3/8" drilled holes in it will add approximately a lb on a Z06, if you do not wish to dremel it open.
Hope that helps, feel free to contact us anytime.
