And running an aggressive map tuned for methanol, without a failsafe, is unnecessarily risky. And the only failsafes that are more trouble than they are worth are the ones that are troublesome. Use a high quality failsafe and you will never think about it again.

Welp. I'm not running public maps; running tester maps that require 80/20 or better on 800ml/min and it is very easy to monitor trims and timing on the hot cylinder which appears to be cylinder 2 or 5. A lot of fear for no reason IMO provided you know what you're doing. FYI, hardware failsafes exist for flash tunes, one of which I have and do not see a need running with what the AP offers. Cheap $60 piece at that.
If you want the extra boost/timing provided from stage 2 + FMIC Aggressive on pump gas, meth is a viable solution. Then again, so is E85.
