Good luck at the dyno. You may be one of the first with meth on a TC.

I believe there are others with meth injection just not very many I know of one member for sure but I cannot remember his name right this second.

Meth could be good for our cars. Expensive to do right. I'm looking at a few setups for my SRT-4 (track toy) right now. I think I'll be happy with the GMPP upgrade when it eventually ships for the SS/TC.

I'd like to know what they put down for horsepower so I can get an idea of what I should.

I run a DevilsOwn meth on my MR2 (SMIC intercooled). You run the meth AFTER the intercooler but as far away from the throttle body as possible too for best atomization. With our cars having the sensors in the cold pipe, I might consider running it right after them to be safe. I have about $280-300 into my kit. Great results on my MR2, but the IC core on MR2's is tiny and poor airflow compared to a Cobalt SS's. I've not had a chance to dyno it yet, but I'm able to get away with pretty silly amounts of boost w/no knock.

IMO... "keep it simple, keep it stupid". I've not found a need for any fancy progressive controller and often you find a lot of people having issues with this. I'm sure some people will disagree with that, but there ya have it. My MegaSquirt trigges mine at a predetermined amount of boost. We'd have to use a pressure switch.

I'd be curious why some of you want it. The reason I have it is to tune to the absolute edge and beyond of what pump gas will let me with my stock turbo.

I not just paying for the meth kit though. They're installing it for me, they're tuning the car, then they're putting it on the dyno and dialing in the tune and meth kit. So for a whole days worth of work: meth kit, install on the meth kit, tune, and a few dyno runs I'd say I'm getting a pretty good deal. Hahn's PPC tuner is $900 alone.
