racegas + meth??

I have my car going in next week to get a few minor parts put on and a retune to finally see what it's making. I havn't talked to anyone at the shop about my intentions. I was just wondering if my car would be able to handle a seperate tune for racegas and meth at the same time or if it would be too much? I would search it, but of course the search function is down. Mods are as follows...
Full 2.4L RNR built engine
Crower rods
Ross Pistons
New Stroker Crank
New 4G64 Block
Mitsu Main & Rod bearings
New Front Cover
New timing belt
New Tensioner
Head has a mild port with a 3 angle
HKS 272's
Mitsu Metal Head gasket
Precision 6776 RSP turbo (GT37r)
Shearer Intake Manifold
Full 3" TB exhuast
Tial BOV
Buschur Race FMIC
AMS 1200HP fuel kit
Methanol Injection
4" Intake
AEM Wideband
AEM Serial data stream guage
Exedy Triple Carbon Clutch
Fidanza Flywheel

If this mix would work what type of results (powerwise) could I expect over just 93+meth?

yes you can have 2 seperate tunes, but you either need them saved to your laptop and use a tatrix cable to switch tunes, or get a map switch with a aftermarket ECU

so use meth on top of race gas?

that would be pointless. it would just be like spraying meth for no reason.
well actually it depends what race gas you run. if you run something over 113 octane... its then pointless

Your a dumbass, quit spreading mis-information.

Yes you can run meth with race gas. I do it and the cooling effect of the meth lets you add more timing over just a standard race gas map.

the best thing to do is to tune with race gas only then do a tune with meth+race gas and see what the outcome is. but im sure if it made enough diff the fastest evo's out there would be doing meth+race gas. and you also have to add the cost of running meth and the 13 dollar a gallon q16 (if thats what your planning on running) into the equation. but talk to your tuner and let us know how it turns out...

The benefits, if any, are very minimal and therefore does not justify for the costs and risks of methanol injection used along with race gas. And please do not call others a dumbass. He is somewhat right.

OP, just curious. Who will you be tuned by? Looks like Buschur Racing would be the best bet as I see that you live in Ohio.

why dont you go do your research. your benefits are gonna be so little to running meth and race gas so unless you like wasting money, its not even worth it

i never said you CANT run it, i said it would be pointless.
