anyone using meth injection???

[SVTBoxer]

My blower has been sent off to steighmeier for the stage 4 port, and on top of that I wanted to run a meth shot from snow performance but I have been hearing mixed things about this type of application. Paul atomotive engineering is who has tuned my car in the past, I just got off the phone with them and they told me that they have had no luck with this product on 03-04 cobras. they said they cars picked up 5-10 hp. He told me to check out a mr.freeze product. I was just wondering if anyone out there had any information for me that could help cause I have heard good things about the snow performance kit. Anyone who has meth hooked up please let me know how it has worked out for you and what kind of numbers u have gained...thanks

I had never considered it until I read the recent article in MM&FF. I plan on talking to my tuner (HPP Racing) next time I stop by to get their thoughts on it. Good luck to you.

I've heard great things about it because of it's cooling properties to the air charge. Anything you do there is worth hp and prevents detonation. Good things. But there is a huge problem running them on these cars...alchohol is EXTREMELY corrosive. Eventually, it will damage your rotors in the blower. I would love one in the summer heat here...but the corrosion alone will prevent me from ever using one.

water meth makes power when you advance the timing, the cooler intake charge allows you to run more timing. which is good and bad, more timing does give you the added risk of more heat. you should look into mile hi dynos cooling mod thats coming out soon, way better setup(not water meth). way colder temps too. more power with less timing advance.

I have been thinking about this also. I have also learned the same things that you all have allready posted. I have a KB on my car and they say it can really mess up the coating over time. I have thought of an idea to spray the meth after the blower....could you not get a R&R spacer and have it drilled and tapped for the nozzel? This would put the Meth after the blower. Would that work or does the meth need to go in pre MAF?

 

[supercobra506]

you dont need to spray it premaf, but it does coat everything with meth. which does eat away at everything. its real good for aftermarket blowers that dont come with an intercooler. like this sn95 with a vortech.

mile hi dynos cooling mod is way better for the 03-04s

 

[Mike_Galimi]

The power comes from the increase in timing because of the much lower intake charge. If you don't increase the timing the effect will be minimized.

 

[supercobra506]

exactly, in my book more timing is not the answer. especially not for street cars that get stuck in traffic. oh how i hate contruction traffic. :cuss:

 

[SVTBoxer]

yea I have heard all the same things as you guys have, Im thinking just going with a small shot of spray like a 35-50 shot.

 

[supercobra506]

thats what i got right now, dynotune 50 dry shot, it made 170 ftlbs with only 600psi of bottle pressure and my car runs better after i spray.

 

[KENZILLA]

I was also considering the N02 also.

 

[supercobra506]

it works, and with the dry shot i spray premaf and the a/f is even with the same tune...no need for a flip chip if you dont already have one.

 

[SVTBoxer]

man that is exactly what I was wondering cause I have a diablo chip and was wondering if I would have to go to an SCT chip, do u have a button or is it hooked up the throttle??

 

[supercobra506]

arming switch in the glove box and a mirco switch on the throttle body, but im going with a progressive controll(built in window swtich, tps and ramping).
dynotune has a window switch with a built in tps for 140 i think.

 

[SVTBoxer]

what is the kit that you are using, do u have a link on where to get it? and are you still running the eaton (ported I take it?) or do you have a whipple or a kb. thanks...

 

[supercobra506]

stock eaton(the stage IV was suppose to be here friday...oh well),2.75 upper, 6# lower. the kit is 03-04 specific made by dynotune, cheapest kit out there, still good quality.
dynotune nitrous
heres some pics

 

[SVTBoxer]

Thats a really good deal! Do you ever run any race gas or all pump gas?

 

[supercobra506]

93 all the way

I experimented with meth/H2O injection on my Cobra some. I was excited as I had GREAT luck with it on my Turbo Buicks. Just didn't get the results I was looking for with this car. Well, I'm not excited anymore... just sold my kit to a current Turbo Buick owner! Got nitrous instead!

:beer: ill drink to that...nitrous is the shit.
