I'm using a 7gph and I know others using much larger nozzles. Don't see how it can cause damage like that other than flooding the motor if the pump never shuts off. The shop doing the work is most likely to blame, too much timing/lean AFR will crack that piston.

I'm using a 7gph nozzle as well. Too much meth will just cause you're motor to bog out. Unless you're check valve fails and fills you're intake with meth. Then it can cause engine damage if it hydro locks

The answer to this question is no. If your afr was in the 11s your engine should have been fine.

Most likely your engine had a problem before it was tuned for meth injection.

i`m pretty sure to, because when i bought the car (used) there was a strange noise in the supercharger. They change it under warranty (6000$ canadian) but if the supercharge was dead there is a good chance that the engine was tired to.
