[QUOTE="NoAllies, post: 8538656, member: 88463"] I'm still on stock pulleys and it's running around 10-11 lbs. Timing I can not tell you, have not datalogged yet. It will be whatever stock timing is minus the 5% I've pulled via the Predator. I'm pretty sure the revision on the predator is old, it's definately not the newest revision. I just have not been able to get ahold of a serial to serial or serial to usb cable in order to upgrade firmware/revision. I know I need to upgrade. I want to run one of the 91 octane tunes, and the revision on the predator currently does not have them. I'm not necessarily set on running alcohol, methanol is a great option as well...both should yeild gains very close to one another. I have installed the snow performance/aquamist kits before and I do prefer the SMC kit for the progressive controller and the in tank walbro 190 lph pump, very easy installation and you dont have to find some wierd place to mount the pump. I'm not so worried about the kit to use, rather if it is even viable to run alcohol or methanol on a supercharged motor. I know that this may be an unconventional way to up octane rating and lower IAT's, but it does work very effectively. When you're stuck with 90 octane you're willing to try some new stuff, and this has served me great in the past when I was running 30psi on a 50 trim turbo in my 4 cyl DSM. I'm pretty confident that this will work just fine and be a great modification, but I'm really wondering if spraying methanol or alcohol through the blower is a good idea. I just dont want to blow the top end to pieces if it pre-detonates because of the heat and compression being added after spraying/atomization. [/QUOTE]
