The trick is to not use meth! Plus it is not free! It is a extra hassle.
why not ? give me 3 reasons.

its at least a 40 hp gain and it is basically free. boost juice can last for a month.

I dont drive in the rain so who cares about using the washer tank. lol

Already gave you more than 3? Why worry about a meth tank kit and tune so it is not free. I have 700 rwhp and can add 100 octane if I want. No meth.
Anything you put it in the life is now limited. Been reading a while you should rebuild or replace your meth tank every year. Just doesn't interest me in the least bit.

Not faster than a Z06 all! Fast 0-60 maybe but any contest while moving the Corvette is gone. 1,000,000,000, mpg no gas in those.
Then the 1000 mile trip is one day in the Z06 but 3 days in Model 3! No on Tesla owner is a goof! I would buy GM electric first!

first of all both 0-60 and qtr mile. video proof a c7 got smoked by model 3p like it was standing still. runs mid 11s without any kind of Tuning.


second with Tesla SC stations you never have to worry. its 40 minutes at most and so extra maybe 1 1/2 hours. lol

GM bolt is not even close to a Model 3P

I'm not 100% against it- I have an AEM dual nozzle kit sitting in my garage, but it's another potential point of failure and consumable that I'd rather not have to worry about. I will use the washer fluid reservoir if I do end up installing it though. Way more convenient that way.

Such TOTAL BS on the 1 1/2 hrs PLEASE my sides! extra to go a 1000 miles! Plus that is a C7 which is hardly fast compared to my Z06 with 800 hp. Then the C7 still wins the hwy race!
No reason to mention the Telsa unless you are needing to go to the local store. Then they build them in a tent the problems will be there no thanks not YET for me.
Then Telsa may not be around I suggest you buy one right away! Then tell me about the trips to 150?
Compare the Model 3 to the Z06? HAHAHAHA!

Find a new dyno.... slipping dyno? Tell these guys to spend the money on maintenance and have the rollers coated my God the cheapness.

how these shops survive is beyond me.

1st of all they're not at the same price point but in terms of gas mileage you can't even compare the 2I mean I'm driving here at 2000 rpm trying to eke out my 11 to 12 on e50. if I hit 12 mpg it's going to be a miracle. lol. those teslas get a 140 miles per gallon .0 to 60 in 3 seconds flat which is as fast as the a z06.

it might lose a little bit on the top now. if you take the model S it's gonna easily beat z06. they run 10 seconds all day

the future's gonna go to the be EV cars it just kind of makes sense.

I know it's ridiculous that I could not hook up so basically we had a try a higher gear my idea and we still didn't hit Max rpm. but I put like low 790s whp to the wheels on E50 which is pretty dam amazing. so wasn't all that badd but yeah ageed or neex to try some really sticky hoosiers or some stickum on the rollers but that screws everything up according to my guy.

If you think the "d" tesla's are slow... you're crazy.

I run meth and it will be off my car the second I replace the cam. If I need to run bigger upper pulley to reduce boost, so be it.

Bad stuff from meth
-one more consumable
-no perfect tank solution - either in the car with you or in a plastic bottle, behind a plastic fender - Hope you never hit something.
-If the system fails, you could have an issue (tuning can limit this - but bad stuff can happen)
-It add's risk. every and any part can fail and all of them have a super flammable fluid in them.
-Road racing is out
-It eats and strips the teflon coating on the rotors of the 2300 (I'm guessing on the 1740 also) and will void your warranty with Magnuson. (but, if you've gone this far, who really cares about warranty)

Join the electric forum we talk about sports cars here. The model S loses the same way on highway rolls to the Z06 too! Telsa runs on battery there is no MPG.
My 800 hp Z06 gets 24 mpg at 80-85 all day long!

Over time maybe it will strip off the coatng but I'm hardly ever in boost. I mean my car has so much power that it's not gonna be Spraying meth 247 like you're saying it only sprays when you get into boost. Now your other argument is totally flawed because basically I'm running boost juice which is basically no different than washer fluid so I guess you'd be scared to have washer fluid in your car either right!

ofc. will take a picture and post. Again it's no way what we could have really maxed out out because of the low RPM and the slipping dyno plus I'm only running a measly 12 pounds of boost Max.

No, I am not afraid of washer fluid. I, like many people run 100% M1.

You may want to start over with your thought process, do some more research.

Here is what mine looked like after the first week. Yes, the Meth is only spraying under full throttle and after a certain point. M1 only. Drove the car maybe 3-4 times, with maybe 20 full throttle hits.
