im getting the ott stage kit and meth...is it worth it to drop down to a 2.7? how much more hps would i be making? i want it to be moderately safe and i know its up to the t00n but i just want to make sure a 2.7 would be alright.

 

Get meth, and all other cooling mods... and yes the torque increase is worth it!

It wasn't as big a drop for me, comming from a 2.8 but from stock or 2.9 it's a HUGE difference and with you being generally close to Area47 you're golden for tuning!

 

cool yea next tuesday i am getting a 4 grand check so im gettin some goodies jbp header, cti downpipe, ott stage1, progressive meth kit, and the tb spacer (dont really want to put a hole in my intake) but yea i pm'ed area47 to see if he can help me out cuz ill be needing a tune for the meth and the 2.7 if i get it which from what you said looks very inviting..

 

You dont need the progressive meth kit... Actually, its better to get the standard.

 

I myself as well as Area47 run the standard on/off type meth kit. Less to go wrong with them!

 

Yup..

with as much heat as the SC puts out.. its better to cool it as fast as you can...

 

is the only difference the little controller that makes it "progressive"?

 

Yes but that controller is like an extra 200 bucks.

 

dont get the boost activated progressive kits... they do have issues. Maf based are much easier.

personally i didnt get more than 3 whp/tq from a 3.0 to a 2.8 due to the timing drop.

stock to 3.0 or 2.8 is a big jump though.

 

Yes slowly increases the meth spray. Vs. just on and off.

I have 113* IAT2's after a 1-4 WOT pulls! with a 60/40 meth/water mix

 

ok so its better just to have it come on all at once then?
and wow thats really low! i am planning on doing the windsheild wiper fluid which is 70 water and 30 meth so i should be cool on the IAT2s...unless i can find some meth around here...
what PSI do yall have urs set to come on and what size nozzles?

 

one of the best mixes... 70/30 if your going hardcore.... i didnt want to risk more cuz im not ballsy like other old schoolers here

 

ok but is that 70 meth and 30 water?

 

Yes.

 

i was thinking 90/10, is that safe to run?

 

Its Safe... it would allow for more power through advancing but less cooling effect.

 

then what the hell is windsheild wiper fluid..thats what everyone told me to use....is it 30 meth and 70 water?
or
70 meth and 30 water?

 

30-40 meth and 60-70 water

 

Windshield wiper fluid is a mix of Meth and Water... i think its 70 water and 30 meth.. you MUST use the -20* stuff..

You buy a product called "heet" (black can) and you mix 2 of those in with a gallon of wiper fluid for iirc a 60meth 40water mix.

 

ok thats what i want then..i want to run safe and cool so thatll work for me thanks

 

You have to figure what you are using it for. I am using it for the little added octane but because with a 2.7 ring on their your gonna be getting really HOT!

90/10 is okay but I would only do that for track days or something like that... not for everyday driving!

Troof! I use -20* washer fluid and HEET mixtures (YELLOW bottles).

1 bottle of heet per gallon of -20* washer fluid makes in a roundabout way a 60/40 mix

 

Sorry i knew the mixtures were a bit off.. i could have swore it was the black can though... lol..

 

well i was gonna add another cooling mod, something to do with a reservoir, its being explained to me on the "gotta beat that hemi thread" and i will have a dual pass h/e for added cooling on top of the other mods

 

Nope the yellow bottle is 100% methanol

 

Yea i had the cooling thing as well.. i could seriously touch my intake manifold.
