My car's street/base map is 13 PSI and only around 560whp or something like that, then my street race (on 93 octane) is something like 650whp. 776whp is my high boost (20 PSI) and is reserved for C18. I am still waiting to hook up the methanol kit and see what we get then

One of these days I need to get the cage stored so I can have a passenger.

Just make sure you get a good stretch in first before trying to take on getting in the pass seat. I speak from experience.

6' 6" so I probably don't stand a chance getting in and out.

It actually isn't that bad. Once you're in you're fine. Its the getting in and then back out thats the somewhat difficult part.

Neither can I. Especially after they did first start-up and dyno break-in (no boost). It was really interesting that of all the other built motors I've seen stated for the first time. Mine was the only one to not let out a single bit of smoke at first. It sounds REALLY healthy as well.

Meth will provide no additional power gains over race gas-especially C18. IMO a "risky" meth tune would be 80-85% the potential of a straight C18 tune, fyi in case you were expecting more power than what you have...

Honestly I did not know that. I was figuring to use the Methanol the 93 to give me more of a boost (like 100 octane). But I thought that combining the C18 with the Meth would lower intake temps and therefore allow for a bit more boost. Not that I am ever going to really do that considering the current situation, but that was my original thought.

Lancer, I already have a meth kit plumbed in, the problem is with the reservoir. We ruined the Greddy washer tank I was originally using and now with space constraints, I wanted to have a custom SS tank with level indicator, along with a larger overflow tank mounted between the engine and Radiator. Still not sure what I will be doing with this.

As for the cage, I can take the passenger side bar out easily enough, but the rest of the cage will take about 30 minutes.

(Jim) Justice Racing Engines in Fredrick. Honestly, all i've heard from just about anyone who deals with them is they may cost a little more, but their quality speaks for itself. Call Dave and he'll explain to you some of the extra steps they take when doing a build.

I think it wouldnt be worth risking the motor pushing a tune to the extreme on race gas + meth. Race gas cant go bad, if the meth kit fails (and you damage your motor) and your using it for power vs safety then suddenly going from 770whp to 820whp seems like it wasnt worth it right? Thats just my opinion, but its your call your a baller
