Meth,

Does anyone run it and not tune for it?

Just to bring iat's down?

If you're not going to tune for it then you're probably better off spraying 100% water. Whilst meth is great for it's cooling properties, water I believe is better at cooling and also as it's not a fuel you're not going to be messing with your AFRs as much than if you were to spray meth.

By decreasing cylinder temperatures you'll also be reducing detonation so in theory it's also possible to tune for just water injection but yeah, if not tuning I'd go for just water.

Meth is great. I've used 50/50, and it was fun, and I surely miss it. I'd def recommend a tune and get the meth kit according to the tune. I've had jb4 and the bms meth. I will prob go back to that route, but a bit tight on cash for now. It's just a never ending shopping list.

No real point in getting the best meth kit if your not going to take full advantage of it with a tune.

Just a devils own basic kit and spray a little meth or water. The best kit is the Aquamist HFS-4 but the difference in price tag is over $700 between the two kits. So if you just intend on spraying a small amount of water or meth I'd go with the DO kit.

yes, it can get costly...I have $1500 in my HFS-4 setup but love it and use it to the max.

Is the Devils progressive kit any good, can you use it with the JB4?

have to disagree, had a lot of problems with that setup leaking sucking air....but he may have fixed those issues. I prefer 100% AN fittings with stainless steel line also. Don't get me wrong I love all other BMS products.

HFS-4 also integrates with jb4.

Devils own with full stainless is about $500
