From my understanding the 20g upgrade will really only shine in the higher boost levels. The companies I have talked to about the 20g say they should be good for 25+psi.

So without race fuel and without meth...on basic 93 octane, what do you think the car is pushing in the higher boost numbers? Just curious.
Maybe the methanol that was added was done as a safety factor that allowed you to boost 19psi? without knocking?
I purchased a meth kit, but I'm not sure if I want to bother installing if the only gain is a couple of psi in boost (and a few ponies). I think there is a margin of safety added as well? maybe you can elaborate?
BTW race gas is not easily available in the North East. I can only think of 2 gas stations within a 50 mile radius that carry 110. The first is in Long Island, NY about 35 miles away, and the 2nd is in NJ just over the George Washington Bridge (the NJ side) about 30 miles. So for me it would be 93 + methanol only.

Got the car back today...
Well got the car back today... and still has a couple problems.
-The car won't seem to go into gear, the clutch pedal is sticking to the ground. So basically the car won't go into gear and can't drive it.
I briefly spoke with Sharif and he stated their might be air in the system, so I am having my tech come saturday to bleed the system.
Updates coming soon..
