Default Methanol worth it for low power SC's?

What sort of power increases are folk getting? and how long does it last?

Don't know any awful lot, but i can rig up a sub injector map in the emanage ultimate and get the meth to fire at high boost say above 7psi will build in a failsafe.

I take it you install a nozzle just before the TB?

Interested in the power figures, I am just over 400BHP @ the fly @ 9 ish psi with a CTSC+AC.

Cheers

u only gain power if you advance timing or raise boost when using meth injection. however, if you want you can spray straight water and that will at least keep your iat's inline and make power more consistent.

if your gonna pulley down for 12-15 psi then yeah do meth injection. if your gonna advance timing to take advantage of the extra octane then yeah do it. otherwise, spray just water.

Thanks

For my setup, I'll be advancing timing i wont be going with a smaller pulley.

I cant remember but my WOT IAT temps are in the 85-90F region anyways.

If you were to say to me I'd get 10-15BHP @ the fly then it wouldnt really be worth it.

Not sure if so spray a mixture or just water?
