New guy with some questions.

Talk about modifications, or anything else associated with performance enhancements. Have a new idea for performance/reliability? Post it here. No idea is stupid! (please use Detailing and Appearance for cosmetic ideas)

Why don't you save me the hassle of finding the car and building it exactly how yours is built and just sell me yours. :D

I see you have multiple blower pulley sizes listed. Is that so you can run one with the meth and the other without? Good idea to not have to worryaout the meth tank for normal driving and then having fun on the weekend without having to buy race gas.

Yes summer and winter and race size pulley's.
I have the 3.1 installed most of the time the temp is below 70F, with or without meth
3.4 for hot summer, no meth
2.9 with meth
I also keep the timing normally down -1 using the timing commander programmed into the IAT connection and can dial up to +6 degrees of additional timing at the track.
I converted my washer fluid tank to methanol and transfer into the pump feed reservoir. Gives me about an hour of spirited driving time while maintaining after SC temps of 90F.

Everything is for sale if the price is right, LOL.

Recommend you install an after SC temp gauge probe in the intake manifold. If not spraying, the temps will rise to 200-250F at WOT.
With the spray it will drop to 110F max
I'm sure an IC would be better but there is still the heat soak issue......
