TVS Build up

Alright well as of right now im running the ZZP S2 HE and Stu Mod. I plan on buying meth over the winter, and dual pass. I am making a down payment on a TVS today, and plan on buying a 2.9 pulley to go with it. I have some questions (TVS will be installed in the spring along with the meth and dual pass).

1. Should i run a 7gph nozzle with the meth or is that too big?
2. Ive been told to go with an 80/20 meth water mix. I dont plan on tuning it moderate, i wanna go pretty high with it.
3. What psi should i set the meth to start spraying at?
4. I have a step colder plugs now but when i install the TVS should i go 2 step?
5. Anything else i should look at buying over the winter to go with the TVS?

2. Ive been told to go with an 80/20 meth water mix. I dont plan on tuning it moderate, i wanna go pretty high with it.depends on your iat2, if they get abit high, drop it to 75/25, but chances are with all the cooling mods you will have you should be fine at 80/20
3. What psi should i set the meth to start spraying at? i had mine start spraying at 8psi and full by 14psi....it really doesnt matter for supercharged cars because we get our boost right away. But just remember, whatever you do set it to, you have to leave it there after the tune. Otherwise, if you tune for 8 and then change it to lets say 3 or 4psi...before 8psi (whatever rpm that is) your table will go abit rich
4. I have a step colder plugs now but when i install the TVS should i go 2 step? i had 2 step colder plugs and it worked perfect
5. Anything else i should look at buying over the winter to go with the TVS?
traction mods...with the tvs and that much power its going to be a bitch to get traction. Also its a really good idea to get header, 3" downpipe and 3" exhaust to let the engine breathe better

The clutch will be okay for the time being, it has only 5k on it and its an OEM replacement that was put in before i bought the car.

Have your meth start at 10 psi I run a 5g nozzle on my car with the tvs. I would also runa 50/50 mix inless you are really good at tuning. I dont have any problems with traction I dont even have a new clutch or traction mods it all depends on if you know how to drive or not.
Make sure you get your 3in exhaust on asap I waited on mine and my dipstick started poping out as soon as I would run higher timing. You got to let the engine breath with all that boost.

My 3 inch exhaust was the first thing on, even before the 2.9 and 60s. Im not good at tuning, but wicked is.
