While i have reservations about meth and think E85 is better. If you have no access to Meth it seems the best way to make sure you don't grenade your motor is to make sure you buy a quality kit and its installed properly. Richard from Aquamist UK was on here dispelling some myths about meth and seems very knowledgeable....might want to hit him up.

Yeah can be anywhere between 800 to 1k

One time a tuner came from Japan and charged 4k and people paid it.

However Gladiel offered better results than that Japanese tuner.

His dyno is around 580-590 whp in a hot humid country in the US he would be very well over 600

I think I need to do lots of work an Evo with a GT35 spanked him though.

A better car is a better car at the end however I am going to try retuning and C16.

If that doesnt work then I will just go FP black and stroke to a 2.4 or run a GT35 myself too. or bbk
