Stacking Cobb AP + JB4
I was curious... I am planning on installing my BMS Meth Kit in the coming weeks, as well as a FMIC. My question is, I have been reading up on stacking the Cobb and JB4 together; with my current set up on my 335i (See Below) would it be necessary to upgrade to a G5 Board if I wanted to run these together, or can I just use the G4 board and be ok?
I will not be consistently mixing E85 in my car due to there not being a station with access to it for 20 miles. So if I will just be running 91 octane with the Meth Kit, the G4 board should be sufficient enough for me to use towards the BMS Meth Kit right? Thanks!

Because I need to, so I can operate the BMS Meth Kit.
Ok.. Will do. Thanks.

Are Meth Kits becoming more useless? Now that there are all these new Flash Updates with E85?

In your guys' opinion. If I were to run -
E85 with no Meth + JB4 G5 + Cobb AP or 91 Oct with Meth + JB4 G4 + Cobb AP Would they pretty much be very similar set ups? I am guessing the E85 would have slightly better numbers? Thank you.

The numbers would be similar and methanol won't heat soak as it cools the intake charge unlike ethanol. You will also get better gas mileage with methanol as E85 requires 20%+ more fuel to go the same distance. |

No one lives next to an e85 station, most of us stock up on e85 in 5gallon jugs... you can buy the jugs at target for $13each. I drive from 818 to 310 to get my e85, I have 3 jugs that I fill up plus my gas tank... It lasts me 3 to 4 weeks. Yes meth is pretty useless once you start using e85. Spraying meth on top of e85 is only needed on upgraded turbos as of this minute. (Or until fueling issues are resolved and proven) Meth is not easy to buy, certain places sell it. Running meth requires more to setup compared to e85. |

The purpose of running JB4 and BMS flash is to run more than 40% ethanol... You can run Jb4 with meth, without using a flash. |

I might just stick it out and go with that. 91Oct + JB4 + BMS Meth.
