[QUOTE="Black2003Cobra, post: 2771474, member: 3159"] I don’t know why my other post in this thread got deleted, so let me try again. Meth has not been found to provide large increases in power for our cars. The idea is, of course, that one could increase timing (or boost) by cooling the charge. (And no…cooling the charge isn’t going to increase the density or mass of air going into the engine unless you spin the blower harder. Remember, by definition a positive-displacement blower forces in a fixed amount of air with each revolution. And yes…I’m aware of the 2nd-order effects.) But you can only increase timing so much (up to MBT timing) before power starts to come back down again. And once you’re close to MBT timing, the gains per degree of timing start to get smaller and smaller. I have not seen anyone report finding any improvement past 22-23 degrees. In fact, meth injection has been tried on a number of our cars by a very well-known, (but un-named), tuner with virtually no success. [/QUOTE]
