Thinking of putting AEM 30-3300 kit in my car and running the 250cc/min nozzle into the lower charge pipe.

Now the question is can I do this with no tune?

I remember reading, I think, that I can with the smallest nozzle and doing it conservatively.

I Googled and couldn't find it.

I have a tune for 25 psi now I'd probably have the kit run from 15 psi or more to 25 psi.

Would this be bad?

Never heard of method injection. But yes u need a tune for meth injection, meth is fuel, so ur fuel trims will go rich when u run it.. What are u wanting it for, extra cooling or bumping up the timing? 250cc won't do much for letting u get more timing. Get at least a 7gph nozzle for that. I'm right now working on a direct port system with 4 1.5 gph nozzles for intake runners and a 2.5 gph for lower charge pipe. Should be interestingly fun

Why do you not want to tune for it?

I'd rather have a few mods done at once to get a retune, waste of money to do one mod then retune and then down the road do another mod and retune.. Better off just doing a couple at a time

id like to know the reason u want meth injection then we could give u better advice. if its just for cooling, save ur money for other mods and do those first, then when ur done with boltons then add the meth and tune for everything. if its for power, I still make it the last mod u put on. that said I ran my meth for a while with no tune. with a small nozzle like that it doesn't go to rich. u wont get power benefits from it, just cooling and some cleaning. u wont hurt anything really running not tuned. probably same thing as ud get with trifecta tune lol

Good ole trifecta tune lol that's what I thought I could do, was run the smallest and at very small psi range. And it's primarily for cleaning and cooling. Not so much power.. Still on stock k04 not gonna get much more out of it I know this

I'm making my own. Most setups use a fuel block style which is dumb cause under vacuum it will get sucked out so there will be a delay in spraying when it starts again. So u need to use as little line as possible with no fuel block . Do u have to Powell oil separator?

That would be more important when it comes to keeping things clean.
