Direct Methanol Injection
Can someone that's familiar with methanol injection shed some light on where you would mount nozzles for the C8 since the intake from the airbox is so short. I know Eric from ProCharger used methanol injection for recent videos where he made 880WHP, but with the Procharger setup there's a lot more ducting to mount nozzles. Any input is appreciated.

The Lingenfelter carbon fiber intake has direct injection option for meth or nitrous. Or just have someone tap the stock manifold.

If you're doing a PD blower, you really want to do some research about meth injection. I'd suggest you jump over to the C6 ZR1 and C7 Z06 sections and do a little research. There's some debate on whether methanol would be harmful to the rotors (or rotor coating) if sprayed pre-blower, and the most effective setups I've seen on PD blowers have it ported into the blower lid post rotors. Of course C6 ZR1s and C7 Z06s have a 2nd IAT sensor after the blower intercooler that timing tables are based on, so not sure you'd get any cooling gain doing that on a C8 since there's probably no 2nd IAT, but you would still decrease the actual intake temp and add the meth as additional fuel.

I run an Alky control meth setup on my Procharged C8. Nozzle before throttle body. Helped a lot with fueling. The car runs wideband 02's so it self adjusts the added methanol.
For rotors, been spraying meth a magnacharged cars for 15 years. Before blower. haven't lost a blower yet.
