Wish me luck tomorrow with meth tuning

Well tomorrow is magic day. I have no doubt that the install will go smooth as everythihng that has been done to the car has been done by me so my mechanical knowlegde is very good.

The tuning part might get to me after a while but learning the UTEC over the last 8-10 months or so has given me the basics and have developed a few tricks for tuning.

I will be running a water/meth mix FYI. My logs are in a thread on here somewhere so I will do a comparison within a few days. Thank god for vacation.

Did you wire the WI on a switch so that you can have non WI MAPs?

As far as I know (kit not in hand as of yet) it comes with a rocker switch, but if it doesn't I have an extra one here just in case. I have a Radio Shack 2 minutes walking from my house.

Good Luck let us know the results.

Got my UTEC tuned on the dyno with great results.

I'm boosting 30psi on the 03 stocker right now with A/I - Haven't dynoed it yet

It also made 380whp 360wtq on 26psi of boost.

My buschur kit did not come with a rocker switch. I had to wire my own. If you have a water sprayer switch. might as well rip that out and put your rocker switch there. That is what I did and it looks factory.

Well the install is taking a little longer than expected. I have had quite a few people stop by and see the progress and that starts taking away time from the install. I'm sure I could have finished it last night, but got the wiring almost complete.

Meth is in the tank and checking for leaks.

Todays agenda, finish looming wiring, front bumper back on, trunk back together, fire it up.

I took very few pictures, plus I still need to install the headstuds. I'm guessing wednesday is headstuds with retorque, thursday tuning after the meeting.

I have the switch to activate at 10-11psi. This is just a starting point, so with time Im sure my tune will change. Not to sure if I should lower boost switch pressure to to raise it, any thoughts? I know there are people running alky/meth/water and would like to see where all of you have the pressure set at.
