Please explain, I'd like to hear your inputs. 100's of us daily drive with meth for years and never once had an issue. In-fact, it's the 2nd best bang for the buck power mod you can do. Lets see here:
- cools cylinder temps - check
- increases octane and supplements our lack of fuel - check
- potential to clean carbon build up in intake manifold - check

Win win for me.

It was a joke... Meth the drug if you still didn't get it.

Lets see...last I checked, this is a car fourm and it's next to impossible to decipher humor when it's methanol is commonly discussed on here, especially when advice was asked. But thanks for making that clear

That, sir, is exactly what makes it funny.

The only downside I can think about meth is that if all of the fail-safes fail and your car depends on it, you can blow your engine. I don't think most of the kits with tunes for sale to the average consumer would ever come close to this point, though.

One question I have for you meth addicts, how long does it take to go through a gallon while daily driving?

Anyways.. Would have been here to respond earlier, but for some reason, wasn't getting emails for this thread. Yeah, was a joke, moving on. I quite like my Fusion Hybrid, though I am taking PCD of an E93 to replace in on 2/10. I will miss being able to drive from my house in Tallahassee all the way to Maryland on one fuel stop though.

But yeah Meth (the drug) is bad, mmkay.
Meth(the mod) is good.

It was the subtle wording of "Doing" that made the joke. I didn't get it at first, either.

I go through a gallon (when the WW low warning comes on) maybe every 2-3 weeks. The first gallon went fast, though . Daily driven about 21 miles a day + all other non-commute driving around for about 1000 miles a month.

If you use a meth kit that has an actual flow meter with a intergeated tune/controller that is able to drop boost and retard timing immediately in response to a flow stoppage, there is virtually no added risk. And the consumption rate with our pwm meth kit is very low. A tank of meth, which costs around $5 to fill will last 1-2 weeks depending on how hard you drive. There are a lot of subpar meth kit applications which give meth injection a bad name. Do your research and pick the right kit. You will pick up huge power and run safer than a "high" pump gas only tune trying to run at the knock threshold.

I always recommend my power packages for combo deals.

Comes with your choice of tune, BMS DCI intake and ETS Intercooler.

Downpipes would probably add more power then intercooler at first.

Of course we could always package a deal to cater to your request but those are the most popular things sold.
Package deal from a supporting vendor FTW - what could be better?
