Procharged use Meth or Nitrous ?
15 A8 Procharged and made 534rwhp 499rwt all else stock.
What would be the best option:
1. Meth and up the boost to around 10#'s
2. Nitrous outlet plate kit w/ 100 shot
Ran a 11.1 @ 126 a couple weeks ago on stock tires and was hoping for a 10.99
Would like to run 10.30's and already have DR's waiting for the additional power

It's much easier to keep a surplus of methanol in the garage than to visit the speed shop every time you need a nitrous refill - which could take a couple of hours (the bottles are frozen before filled.)
But, the need to rebuild the methanol pump every year or two may turn some off.
