Yeah, you need failsafes and such when you run meth. You have to be really careful with meth and everything needs to be monitored. Too much trouble if you ask me. I wouldn't do it, not worth the risk. But that's just my opinion. Sorry to hear about your motor.

WTH!

I blew my motor when my meth pump quit working and all it did was blow a piece of the piston off. No rod or block damage. How would the smc be so bad. There are tons of guys running it with no problems. You only hear of the ones that quit working though

your parents took your car away? WTF i think you would be so upsidown on the car that it would be easier to fix it...find a stock block from a totalled evo and get rid of the meth kit...
still confused about the parents taking the car away

Return to stock and dealer-it, or hold onto it and go the 2.3 route. Selling a "rolling chassy" isn't going to do a whole lot for you.

I'd offer a trade because I want a 2.3, but...

dude, don't sell it, you will take a beating. Put it aside and just save some cash up.

Sorry to hear about your situation

It's scaring the shi+ outa me now too but i think I'll risk it . . . I need the power- HAHA

I've heard there have been problems with the SMC alky kits lately. Replacing them frequently and one instance where the pump kept spraying and hydro-locked the engine.
