i know how you feel, sometimes it can be hard to spend big $$ on things that dont directly help your performance.

but in the end, the indirect benefits of these mods is worth every penny.

Hey Bryan, once my injector work is all done (and it will be eventually) I was thinking of going with meth. What kind do you have? Do you recommend an "on/off" style or a progressive?

thats really personal choice. mine is a very simple set up. less **** to go wrong actually. kicks on at 5 psi. shuts off when i let off the gas. just run off a simple hobbs switch that triggers a relay and turns the pump on. not like the new maf style crap. im old school. it's what i had on my talon, and what im used too.

Cool, yea, I was going to get boost based. I was just looking at all of this stuff with all of these choices for electronic control and progressive spraying and all of this other crap. I don't know what to get.

it's easy stuff. i will say this. it is very easy to push the envelope. meaning. you can get away with 12.4 afr and 25 degree's of timing with a 2.85 or smaller pulley. it's just not advisable.


i have, since then dumbed mine down a lot. if an when you get it, lemmie know. i have a killer timing map for meth based cars
