more than likely. you'll just have to run a degree or two retarded timing.

NA apps have seen power increases with meth injection as well. Its just not as drastic of an increase as you see on a FI car.

Methenol is used as an octane substitute. Its octane usually falls in the 120 range. The water is used as a cooling additive. I have found that a 50/50 mixture of the two works best at keeping the IAT's down and keeping a safe octane level.

On a NA application, especially with high compression, gains can be seen from cooler IAT's and being able to run much higher timing then stock. Snow Performance has dyno sheets on their site of NA and FI applications using their kits.

You can set any of the kits up to spray between certian RPMS levels (like nitrous) between certian boost levels, or between certian voltage ranges (maf). Depending on your setup would obviously depend on which was the best way for you.

Many tuners use meth as a safegaurd the cars as well, and not to really make more power. Keep in mind that if you have a "Meth" tune and something fails, you run out in the tank, or what have you, that bad things are most likely going to happen. Like nitrous though, used properly it can be VERY safe and VERY effective.

Okay, I'm down for it since I'm shooting for good numbers in N/A. I like the fact that this can be used for safegurading and be used in certain RPMs. Thanks for your answers guys. Also, if I run out of Meth, where can I buy it?

I have a TB spacer that u could use to make the water/meth hole for the injector.
