    Meth?

    U have a 2004 lm7 with a set of more or less prc 2.5 heads milled. 018 with a match intake manifold, tr 220 cam on 114 lsa. Im going to be runnin a cxracing 76mm turbo with a 1.15 AR. Im hoping to push 10-12 psi on 91a octane "- all we got here" im wondering if adding meth would be worth it?

    Low octane to begin with. 10-12 might not be a good idea.
    Start low and flow a d walk up on it.
    Otherwise it will be short lived.

    Your best option would be to take a trip down to Tucson or Phoenix. Bring back 100 gallons or so of 100octane fuel. Then mix 2 gallons of 100 with 8gallons of 91 which would result in about 94octane. You only drive that truck 3000 miles a year. Assuming 10mpg you will go thru about 60 gallons of 100octane per year. Thus saving you from needing to pay for a meth system or fluid. If you feel like you need more than 94 oct then up the fuel mixture with more 100 until satisfied. Right now there is a shell station in Phoenix selling 100 octane for about $4.80/gallon. A place in tuscan even does 4.50 when you buy more than 5 gallons. Though it varies with up to 7.99$/gallon.

    isn't this the point of the form? to ask questions. and i try and research but i dont currently have the internet at home so i have to on my 15 min lunch break. neways im going to have it live tuned by a guy in tucson, im just wondering if meth would be worth it. i plan on starting out around 7 psi for now then slowly upping it. i wan to try and get 10-12 psi i understand its hard with 91 but i also know meth will cool, and allow more timing to be added but is it safe to rely on it?

    if you go with a meth kit go with a good quality kit. A good kit doesn't use push lock fittings or nylon tubing
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Okay cool just ignore my post. VP racing will sell you a 54gallon drum 105 unleaded delivered to your home for about 800. Mixing that with 91 to get an approximate 95 octane means no need for meth and a less complicated build. I bet 54 gallons of 105 would last you close to 2 years. That truck isn't driven much any more. Also super stop in safford has E85 you could go that route, but you will need to switch fuel pumps and get bigger injectors.
