methanol injection

SO i am sitting about 360awhp right now i have full bolt ons.
I am going to be doing some custom parts here in the next few months and untill then wanting more power.
I know the best thing to do is a bigger turbo that is coming down the road.....
will be going for 500hp/380tq this is with the custom parts later on.

But untill then i want a little more so these damn mustangs dont keep beating me haha...
so i am thinking about adding a meth kit. what is everyone thoughts on this?


I am aiming for about 400whp and keep in mind stock turbo still.
Will i need bigger injectors and fuel pump ?

just a side note i have a spare block laying around when i start to build.

Meth injection is an option that will make great gains on your current set up if you are on unleaded gas now, I'm assuming. If I understand you correctly, no you would not need a fuel pump or injector upgrade in conjunction with meth since its actually a supplemental fuel source and would demand less of your stock fuel system.

That said, I would go with a different option if E85 was readily available in your area. Don't want to get into an argument on which is better between e85 and meth injection. I could just say I have used both for several years and prefer e85.

If you haven't swapped out the stock cams for an upgraded set, this could be another option to easy hp gains now and also be used with your built set up later.

This is also something I am considering. I have almost no knowledge of the set ups but I have heard nothing but horror stories when it comes to it. Almost everyone says its just to many variables to go wrong to make it a reliable source to make power safely. But with that being said I would love to know more.

I have never experienced anything horrific with Meth. This stuff is as good as the kit you use and who installs it.

If installed correctly and external fail safes are used you need not to worry much.

I have had good luck with Snow stage 2 kits on the evo. Had 2 AEM units fail back to back.

Make sure you buy a meth kit with a failsafe and have your tuner set up the failsafe maps. The last thing you'd want is a fault with the meth kit while you're at WOT.. it's a quick way to detonate and blow your motor.

I'd recommend getting any of the Aquamist units. Race-proven
