Pretty good. It still does not like timing at all for some reason. I guess the 91 octane you guys have is pretty bad because he was knocking on 10* of peak timing 5* in the midrange on just gas. He is running almost twice as much timing on the meth with minimal knock on the last log.

Yeah gas sucks out here. My car still had tip in on 91 and meth. Thats why I went E85. Too bad he cant.

I did not know you guys had E-85 out there. He can use a mix of E-85 and gasoline. He can use up to 2 parts E-85 to one part E-10. The LNF can handle up to at least 60% ethanol without surpassing the injection window.

If I knew you guys had E-85 out there I would have told him not to bother with the meth kit. Although, I bet his intake valves are getting nice and clean now and it does seem to help the performance some but not until the meth starts injecting.

That was my problem with meth. I had horrible tip in during daily driving. I could not even pass someone on the freeway at partial boost without knock. WOT was fine. Its too hot out here. Thats the main problem.

i thought every bottle of heet you add to the gallon mixture of -20 is an extra 10%?
thats what i was told from alcohol systems. maybe i just forgot.

Heet is over 99% methanol. It's almost straight meth. If you do the math, adding it to standard WWF, you need 3 bottles to reach 50/50.

It's actually kind of convenient to have the blue dye in there. It'll make it VERY obvious if you have a leak in the system anywhere in the engine bay.

I agree with the person above that you really shouldn't be messing with meth if you haven't done the research. It can be an awesome way to gain power and cool down the engine, but if you don't know what you're doing, it's a recipe for disaster down the road.

Here's an Excel spreadsheet that will help you calculate WWF/heet combinations. Click on the "Super Blue" entry. What you want to use is -20F WWF. The labelling requires that they have volatile content by %. Pick up a container and read the label. It'll say 35% by weight on a -20F jug. Shake it and make sure it does not foam up (detergents). The cheaper the better. This guy's spreadsheet even has various brands in it.

Anyone that tells you not to run WWF simply doesn't understand what they're doing, and so they follow someone else. Buying pre-mixed 50/50 over the internet is kind of ridiculous.

And the BPV tear is an obvious problem, I don't know why you keep trying to race people with a broken car lol. Fix it, we'll meet up and check the tune and you'll be good to go.
Nick sorry if that came across the wrong way. I wasn't planning on posting any maps or anything really in depth. Just a screen shot of a basic log graph for Pat to look at. Anything more in depth (timing curves, waste gate %'s, loads, ect ect) I would take off of the graph for the screen shot. I'm not exactly sure what he would need me to post them for when he could just view my logs in person or better yet, ask you. I had no intentions of divulging any BYT secrets.. I'm not lookin to **** you off or screw you man. I can assure you that..

Its when your car knocks the moment before you go wide open throttle.

Not even close. It's built into the K04 turbo. Does anyone even sell a rebuild kit for our built in BPV?

I think GMpartsdirect you can get the "whole" bypass valve. Its like $60 bucks and I believe it comes with the tan cover thing, the spring and the diaphragm. I just need a diaphragm and I think I'ma have to spend the money for all of it

I think pookie looked into that already and found that they were on a national back order. I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's what he said he found out. I'm not sure if there was even a time frame given on when the back orders could be fullfilled. It definitely sucks because this could potentially happen to anyone really
