Apparently! These meth guys have me curious although I know I won't benefit with Cobb for the time being.

curiousity is what killed the cat....jk

I could only see myself resorting to meth if it was the final and only option left. However its not....

A tune+Meth car will walk all over a FBO+Tune car anyday of the week. So it just makes more sense to get meth.

So your telling me and everyone here that two identical cars with same psi boost, one using ONLY meth and the other tuned fully for its FBO, the meth + tune car will walk it ?

That won't be possible on pump gas. An FBO no meth vehicle cannot run same psi safely as the meth vehicle.

Edit - To add there will be a cooling advantage in the meth car but running the same boost on both cars will not be possible.

Yes, for the simple fact that the meth car can run more advanced timing and will have much lower IAT's.

*edit - but whats the point of running the same boost when the meth car can run more (safely)?

I think if more people felt the benefits of a fully functional PWM meth system (mapped to work with the tune), they wouldn't be nearly as eager to go with traditional bolt-ons that don't offer nearly the same drivability/performance gains.

I agree; the only thing that makes me squirmish is running 18 PSI in a car with stock DP's. The backpressure just seems too much although many people get away with it very well.

We are talking about both cars being able to be tuned to run higher octain lvls. Car A is tuned to run meth only and Car B is tuned to take full advantage of its FBO.

To make it sound like a Tune + Meth "only" can all out conquer a FBO + Tune (custom) doesnt sound right. I would expect to see performance between these as not that far off.

We are playing with a double edge sword here and it is something that can go either way

At that point, since octane levels are maxed in a race gas car and in a meth car; the advantage that the meth car still has is in cooling and advancement of timing. The race gas car has the FBO advantage so I think at that point; the races will be very close but the meth car will be able to do it more consistently for obvious reasons.

Have you seen FBO cars racing meth only cars? The meth only cars definitely definitely outperform them.

I have never seen a meth no FBO car. If it ran meth it was FBO. I have seen a FBO + Tune + Meth vs FBO + Tune race on 1/4 mile runs, but not circular track.

Again, pardon my ignorance, FBO?? And i know Meth is easy but Id like to stay fully bolt on and keep it that way. Im not looking to drag it or be a HP queen, just more streetable HP.

And with that said, been looking at exhausts, the vanguard is looking like my option

You already said it. FBO = full bolt on's.

Yeah I realize she's not the norm for stage 2+ dyno's. Would have been nice of her to do a baseline. Either way most stage 2+ cars will be well over 400 lbs of tq and right around 390hp on a dynojet so not far off from the 400/400 that the guy was asking about.

I have been running 2+ sport map for a couple weeks now and love it. Once January rolls around and I have some extra money I'll get mine dyno'd. I'll make sure to do runs on stock, drive, sport, and aggressive. Plus once ATR comes out I don't see why you wouldn't be able to squeeze out another 10-20 hp/tq

For the record. 400/400 or more is very doable on Stage 2... I've seen those numbers on a Mustang dyno
