I agree, for MD unless you're gonna run a really high psi you won't be able to do it.. esp being restricted by 91.. You need e85, meth, or bigger turbo

Im kinda torn on the whole meth thing to be honest with you. It is one way to make good power, but even with the best failsafes in place, there are still issues present that you might not experience for a year a couple years maybe never. Issues such as methanol being very corrosive can eat up over time lines running the meth setup to the engine bay. the pumps can fail, hell one of your failsafes might not have been wired right, the nozzle clogs, if any of that happened n its underhood you have a serious chance for a fire starting, etc . Now I know people have it setup, to where theyll go to a pump gas low boost setting. Which is fine, that and I know a few people who have ran meth injection kits, and have since switched to e85 instead, and the car ran better made better power. I dunno imo, I would rather have one tank to fill, once my car is paid of in a couple years, I plan to do a map switch with 91 and e85, as theres a pump like 5 miles away, and itll be like a track map. But when your spending 50-100 on enough meth to get you two tanks depending on the tank size, and if you drive it hard which is why you have meth injection setup, ive seen one friend blow through a couple tanks in less then a month. If you dont have money for extra meth, your cars gonna be like a junkie wantin another taste haha....That and methanol being corrosive to engine internals, even on a 50/50 water meth setup. I see more people blowing up an engine on a meth oops, then I see running e85 even when its cold....thats my 0.02. All im sayin is its a greater chance of failure. But if you run it and it works fine for you. Hope you dont have a meth leak ever. All im sayin.

Now I won't deny that e85 will make you more power, but if it isn't redily available such as he said it wasn't then why not run it. The amount of a good meth kit is about 450 bucks give or take. For that price sure you can get a tb, or one other thing for that price range. I just don't see why people don't like the meth. I have heard it is dangerious, sure if you run 100% meth all the time. 50/50 mix is more then you would need to gain you the power you would need, it will allow you to also run a few more degrees of timing, and its everywhere. You can go to any store where they sell Heet and distilled water with no issues what so ever.
