Not worth it imo. Want more power, run more boost, or switch for an alternative fuel.

I made awesome power on the AEM Meth kit running 50/50 wm. 400/400 on the evo 9 turbo. Here is what I tell people, if you have e85 near by run e85. If you do not then run Meth injection.

Make sure you have some sort of a failsafe.

please be advised that not all E85 are made equal. that would be my only concern if you were going to the performance route w/ E85. i would recommend fueling at the same pump to avoid this problem, or help avoid this problem. because E85 that is off will definitely cause knock, and knock is not a good thing =/

I run a Aquamist kit no issue's at all. Just as not all e85 is not equal neither are all meth kits. I love the kit. Where in NJ are you?

I ran meth for over 2 years a while back. If set up using multiple failsafes and a good tuner, its pretty safe

This was of course before e85 was so popular and available in most places, id do e85 over meth anyday now. Much safer and you will make more power

I now run a Aquamist hfs-3 since my smc kit took a dump, I ran the smc kit for over 6 years with no issues until it now. I running a good failsafe with a 3 port solenoid so that if the pump stops flowing my boost will not go over 12 #'s. Whats cool is if you shut off the Aquamist unit you can actually see the failsafe work as in my car will not boost over 12 #'s. I know a lot of people have negative things to say about meth ,but as long as you have a good working failsafe you should be fine. I think e85 is great but as we know not available to everybody's area. I also run 100% denatured alcohol as it rather easy to get at Home Depot and not as corrosive as 100% meth from what I heard/ read.

My setup consists of a dual map. One on 91+meth and another straight 91. It's an aem kit with the aem failsafe. When trouble arises while on meth, it switches to alternate map (ecu drops boost with 3 port bcs). Like someone else mentioned, when I switch on injection system, ecu is running that (91+meth) map. If I choose to switch it off, it runs alternate (straight 91)map.

Nice setup with dual maps. What type of power are you making on both maps and what are your mods?
