Cool do you have any pics? I have to figure out what I'm going to do next with the car. However I really do need gauges. Especially Air/Fuel, and Boost.
Re: Another VIDEO (Chris's Meth Kit Install)
Well, after working out some issues , my meth kit is finally working!! I just took it out for a quick spin in 58 deg weather and saw around 11.0-11.2 A/F right into 3rd (I could only get it up to 80-85mph on a side road). The SC pulley will go on tomorrow. I will run it on the street for a bit and If I feel like it's stable enough for the track, I will try and make it out this weekend.

what were your IAT temps with it on? does yours have a progressive controller on it?

You think it's enough? I only took it out for a quick spin and it's raining out today. I am not sure on the IAT's yet. I have the AEM kit and it does have a progressive controller.
Here is a free calculator and the forum has some good info on it:

Dropping roughly 1 point is pretty good, I bet when you get the other pulley on there you will be right around 12.5:1 a/f ratio which is what Inmotion said is where we want to be. Not sure about that high of a boost level though, you may want to go a little richer, you would need to discuss that with your tuner.
I am on several meth injection forums and ask a lot of questions and try to learn as much as I can on it. It worked great on my last car that I installed a supercharger on.
I can not wait to hear your results at the track!

I hope you make it to the track. This should be very interesting. Water/Meth here in the summer usually gets the cars back to the times it was running in the winter. Essentially lowering DA with the cold air, but your already in cold air. I know your using it to lower your afr's, but technically it should trick your ecu into thinking it's running in cooler weather (better DA) and increase boost. Also increasing afr's. The only time I ever seen anything over 12.5:1 was when I ran at famoso in 1600' DA. Your going to be easily at sea level with w/m or possibly without. I would get a baseline with just the w/m first, at least on a pull all the way through 3rd.

Re: Another VIDEO (Chris's Meth Kit Install)
I'm bored so here are some pics of my meth kit installed in the trunk. I gotta thank my dad for making it look as nice as it does. We re-did the wiring installing a fusable link and an activation switch so I can turn it on or off. We made a bracket, drilled some holes, covered it with some carpet and a cleaned the wiring up. This is how it turned out......
Re: Another VIDEO (Chris's Meth Kit Install)
Looks good. Looking forward to the results. I just wanted to add I have 240's manifolds and stacked code 3 68mm pulley. My AF ratio is 11.8-12.5 with Rob's Inmotion tune.(sensor after the primary cats). IAT's are on the high side so I might need to invest in a meth kit as well.

I have the SC pulley on and the meth kit working and she is pulling ridiculously hard down low, but...........::Sigh::, im seeing my A/F spike. It starts off great at 11.5-12.0, then it goes to 17 when it hits around 5k in 2nd gear. I ran it a couple of times and same thing happend. I shut her down and threw the cover on it. I didn't play around with the boost controller though so I am not sure I even have it set right? I didn't have any belt slippage though with woody's idler pulley which was good. Rob is working some magic for me (hopefully), to make this setup work. I need to get it tuned as well, but im still unsure which route to go with this. Also, I am going to go with a near 50/50 mix of distilled water and meth to see if anything changes. Right now im running washer fluid and I believe that is only 5% meth?? Anyway, my thinking is that if I went with a true 50/50, it would help richen it up. Any input on that?

i cant be the only one looking to give you a hard time about this can I?
