But... More power = Meth

there is very good failsafe available - flow sensing, afr, egt, any of these outside operating conditions, failsafe will be triggered and you run wastegate pressure or switch to a less aggressive map if you are on a standalone ecu.

cylinder wash...run a valved system that will spray when needed and stop when it should

I have mainly heard from local people/shops about cylinder wash arising from the use of meth injection. There are a few thread mentioning this, one of which doubleugly posted.

I am not completely sold on the fact that it does cause cylinder wash directly, many instances of cylinder wash could just be caused indirectly due to the nature of running increased boost. This is just one of those topics that is kind of a grey area and hard to prove one way or the other.

Sorry for being OT

i would personally choose cams. Although meth is nice, it is rather a pain to tune. I had it on my old GST and it was very hard to get it just right....
