maybe I am confused , LMR is saying only if its meth dependent? They are only tuning it for cooling affect , keep IATs at bay.
How can a car react fast enough in a middle of a WOT run (which happened to me) and meth stops working ? there has to be that 1 sec where its too much power for pistons.

Now you could have a nozzle/etc plug up and it wouldn't catch that, but that is no different than an injector/etc plugging up. They nozzles do have filters so they don't clog so the odds of that happening are small.

Two different schools of thought and I'm not saying what is right or wrong, just what we have found to work for our customers over many years now. A meth pump failure should be more of an annoyance then a worry, get it repaired relatively inexpensively and go enjoy the car again.

Sorry to cause that - one simple sentence turned into something being blown out of proportion as is usually the case around here.

Back on track, after Doug reminded us about that 754 pull, I'm wondering what this can do on no cam, all meth!
As mine's still waiting for the cam install, I'm floored to see meth able to put out those sorts of numbers. I know you guys are going to have it on the rollers here shortly - can't wait!!

This is a Snow Performance methonal system. Car made great numbers on 91 octane through an auto. Baseline numbers were 400rwhp so a 200rwhp gain. She drives like stock until you step on the throttle!!
Have fun with her and be safe, and once you get used to the power the heads/cam setup will be here waiting for ya. 700plus rwhp!!
