Help.. detuned

So my mods are in my signature... My car was originally tuned by Turbo Trix, it made 420whp 390tq at 22psi on meth injection.

I'm the third owner.. i have the meth injection disconnected. I have driven a 400whp car before my car does not pull or feel anywhere near as fast.

I have fixed major exhaust manifold leaks, replaced cracked valve cover.
My car is running pristine

Last year without meth i ran a 12.9 with all my leaks and a leaky licp
Today everything fixed with a new big fmic i ran a 13.7

I understand with running meth my timing is advanced.. MY QUESTION is.. could my car's original tune become that much worse with the meth disconnected causing a major hurting on my peformance over time?

If anybody has any suggestions or remarks plz do so.. it would be greatly appreciated
I'm tuning my car this 18th at Pure Tuning on 93 oct. Hopefully it revives my car

if you were tuned for meth then run meth otherwise youre risking blowing your motor up because its running much leaner and much more timing. until you get tuned for the gas youre using i would stay out of boost as much as i can

The whole idea of tuning with Meth injection is that it allows you to tune much more aggresive than straight 93. Based on your mods, if the car actually made 420 hp at only 22 psi, it was probably tuned with a very aggressive timing map. Running straight 93 on that tune is a very bad idea.

STAY OUT OF BOOST!!!!!! You risk disaster right now....

Just to give you an idea whats happening is your driving a car that needs "100 octane" on "87 octane"... Very, very bad.... Obviously the numbers aren't real, but just to give you a realistic idea of whats happening.

I suggest one of two things...

1. Reconnect the meth and log the car make sure all is well.

2. Retune for pump, in the mean time grandma driving


Cheers!

Thx everybody for the quick response. I turned down my boost and while driving I stay completely out of boost. I have now 12 days of driving my evo without boosting it will be well worth it after the retune..

COULD I HAVE SUFFERED any damage due to the long term ( year )of wot my evo here and there without the meth?
I have done a compression test and the numbers were fine

Thx Again everyone
