Thank God Kushan from Excelsior is one of the most meticulous Corvette builders. He Lost his damn mind. He is contacting the shop who did it first to get the details on who hacked it up. Kushan re wired the whole damn thing and gave me his METH controller out of his racecar. He made up for the lack of care from the culprit shop. He threw it back on the Dyno and it did a 694Whp pull. So its back now.

Thank you all for the PM's and the concern. Y'all are A1.

You would think that once primed you could floor the throttle, shift at red line and be green the whole time - in each gear! Not only is it not linear, it acts like a 2 stroke coming on the pipe in all gears.

i am lifting the throttle at each shift but am shifting extremely fast.

Had one other issue with it. Was doing 50 mph in 5th and hit the test button. Red light turned to green. I let go of button. Gave it the gas and it bucked violently. Same results 3 times of trying to give it a little throttle - bucking. Finally cleared out the meth from the intake and it rode normal. I pushed test button no more than 2 seconds! I heard the test button is supposed to be hooked to 5 volt circuit, not 12. Not sure if this is accurate. If it is, 12 volts may pump way too much for test button.

PS, I have not turned spray up or down.

Called Julio today and talked at great length. System is functioning properly. He suggest I turn up the switch from 6 to 8. Well, I found I was on 5 so I turned it up to 7. Big difference! Meth kicks in sooner and effect is a much smoother ride at WOT. Biggest problem now is traction control kicking in! LOL! The higher number provides higher pressure and it doesn't bleed off to so low of a pressure to cause it to take so long to prime system

Default Meth Causing Bucking

Hello, New to the forms here but I have the following on my 2015 C7 Z51 Corvette,
Stock LT1
Custom Cam
D1X Procharger
Duel Nozzle Meth injection (alky control, nozzle are from Devils own)
Breather tank
Custom intake
American Racing Headers 1/78 w/xpipe
Cat Delete
Stock Axel Back
Ran 1/4 10.6 133 in 1/4 mile here in upstate NY
Tune and all work done by NewEra Performance here in Rochester, NY
Car currently has 750hp 702tq

I was getting bucking from my Meth injection due to the nozzles not being installed coming up from the bottom to the intake tube, if they are installed with the lines being able to drain meth into the intake tube it will build up and you will get too much meth and it will start bucking. Once we plumbed the lines to come up and into the tube the problem went away. Hopefully it helps.

Something I will look into. I was having the bucking issue at times and kept thinking it was tune related but could never figure out what the issue was. Something to check for sure. Thanks for the post.

Sadly I don't remember where I placed your nozzle. I guess my age is starting to show. Sure hope I don't forget this "tuning" thing

My red light for the "primed function" flickers intermittently. I understand it might do this as you shifting through the gears and the boost is fluctuating, but should it be doing this just driving steady down the road. Is this normal or is my ground bad,etc

The red light should only be on when you reach a certain amount of boost, typically 2 to 4 psi. It should not be on during normal driving when you are out of boost.
