HAHAHA... guess we should start looking into upgrades now huh... 
Sharif: nice work man... Definitely some amazing #'s and the difference between meth and no-meth is just stunning.. I can't wait to see what else you come up with.
Joe: Nice to meet you buddy. You have a beautiful car. I did not realize you did all of the work yourself. Great job. Clean and well done. I know you are happy with the new setup and hopefully 600+ will keep you happy til winter.. LOL
Someone asked if I had 700whp on Sharif's dyno. Nope. We got 666 on his dyno and 723 I think on a local dynojet. BUT.... who knows what the future brings........

Just cusrious, how much extra timing were you able to run on the meth?

I love the automation with the FCON, making what might be an unpredictable setup into something that is totally reliable! This is a testament to it's superiority over other options. I guess having a decent tuner doesn't hurt!
Good thing I'll never want that much power

In regards to air inlet temps, not only is the temp ramp up decreased during the dyno pull, the inlet temps return to near ambient within 7-8 seconds. So heat soat is virtually nill.

Methanol is a solvent - I would think it highly unlikely that something could end up clogging the nozzle. Thinking ahead is always prudent though! But Kenk2 does bring up a good point... What's the cost/benefit of adding a kit for safety vs. performance - ever recommended at lower HP levels? Or overkill?
edit: quick ? - what is the storage for in the trunk vs. in front of the wheel?

The tank in the back is for the meth and the tank in the front bumper is the coolent overflow tank.

You are correct, in that clogged nozzles are more for the realm of the 50/50 mix, but the possibility still does exist. Particularly when the methonal system is NOT activated. The nozzle will be exposed to air, contaminants, and other things. This is why some kits offer a clog detection system safety.
