Do I need meth?

If I would run 42's, option B, heat exchanger, 2.8 pulley, ported blower, ported head, tuned with efi live would I need meth?

It wouldnt hurt, but I wouldnt say you need it. Why 42's with a 2.8? Might want to get some 60's. How do you like the EFILive tune?

well i am running a 3.0 with stock injectors with only 93% IDC so I would think 42's would be enough and I like my tune

i hear ya Area47 said he'd never tune anything less then a 2.9 with 42's cause it was a huge pain in the ass. if you do decide to run meth you could prob run the 42's cause the meth will actually richen up your a/f ratio. just dont want to see your injectors going static anyhow good luck with it all
