CaLi4G63: When being a Tweaker is good-Meth vs. No meth

[Smogrunner]

Here are two tunes done this summer on an Evo 8 with basic bolt ons. I'll let Manny elaborate on the specifics, but they are both with an FP Green turbo on 91 octane. Obviously, the higher numbers are with Meth injection kit installed and tuned. Couple of observations: the Meth graph LOOKS like a C16 tune, meaning that the smoothness of the curve is really impressive. Also, the tuned looks incredible even at 8000+ rpms.Â* :-o

No meth: 321whp/321wtq
Meth: 387whp/385wtq

Manuel, I can't put this in the dyno database because there is some new rule about max post size. I'll have to see what I can with Moderators to make an exception on those threads...

MUCH THANKS to you smoggy!

I know you're busy as it is and for you to post up my tuning graph shows you go out of your way for us customers. The car is still a blast to drive! Alfred and his crew did a great job on the car. I have the basic bolt on's along with the FP GREEN turbo. My final numbers were achieved with 28psi.

I have been contemplating getting ARP Rod bolts, what do you guys think? I think it's cheap insurance for the rods. I already have ARP head studs along with a HKS head gasket and Crower valvetrain so up top, the head is good.

The last thing now is to get my low level indicator for my meth installed, along with safe-injection for the meth kit. So far the kit has worked flawlessly. Once again, thanks to everyone at TT for their support and time, and thanks again smoggy for the graph!

Nice numbers caLi4G63. What cams are you running and what methanol kit are you using?

[ap-evo83]

TT uses the snow performance alky kit.

[caLi4G63]

correct; I have a snow performance kit and I run 100% methanol.

edit: I have the GSC 272/272 V2 cams, not the S1's.

Congrats caLi4G63! I am so happy with my Meth kit, wish I did it sooner.

Nice. It's good that you're running their new failsafe. I've been running the Aquamist water/alcohol system for over 5 years now on my Talon and now on my Evo. Their failsafes are top notch. What cams are you running?

wow thats nice, any pics of the install? cant wait to install my meth kit!

[caLi4G63]

I'll post some pics later today, hopefully I get a chance.

kinda low for an fp green on straight 91... i got 345 with a stock evo 9 turbo n similar mods...

but other than that hope you like it... get that low level indicator so you dont have to keep on checking it.. lol

[caLi4G63]

I know the FP GREEN can make more power; if you notice, my AFR are the same with straight 91 and 91/meth. They are 11.3 across the board, i'm sure if the fuel map was leaned out more it would pump out higher numbers. Overall i'm satisfied with the tune and the way the car delivers the power!

[mrcotija]

looks like i should get a meth kit for my daily driving

Yep. Meth is getting really popular nowadays. Btw, I got 351awhp on my EVO8 with stock cams on Meth and no EVO 9 turbo. My tune was a little more aggressive though since I'm heading to Texas and they use 93 oct.
