Meth question....
If you're running meth do you have to have it always on? Or can you tune so that when you turn it on the computer adjusts automatically?
I had my C6 supercharged and meth set up so it was triggered by IAT sensor so if it ran out it would default to regular tune.

And what are these "fail safes?". If meth doesn't spray (runs out, pump failure, etc), then the car can run lean if it's being used for fuel.

Mine is tied to the MAF sensor. I have had to replace the pump twice, annually it seams. The seals are the weak link in the system. The change is easy in experienced hands. I do run 100% meth in my system so that has been known to shorten the life of the seals. Your tuner will be able to better cover failsafes as I am sure each has their way of doing it. Just don't make yourself meth dependent and you will be OK.

How can our tune be adjusted so this happens? If the meth fails on a lean tune the engine goes lean. Never heard of a way to switch to a safer tune. Only truly failsafe way I know with methanol is a failsafe kit like the AEM 30-3020 kit. Or install a nozzle size and meth/water percent so if your meth spray fails the engine still runs safely.
