think my GMPP exhaust is that restricitve? I have thought about getting a custom 2.5 with a big Magnaflow resinator. Or should i go to 3in?

TVS is a little out of the question right now.

Would going to a 2.7 make that big of a difference?

Id go to a 2.6.

Yes that gmpp 2.25" is holding you back... if your gonna go down to a 2.6 or a 2.7.. go 3".. if not.. 2.5" is fine as long as its mandrel bent.. if its not.. go for a 2.75".

heard you should not go over a 50/50 because of fire hazard

Meth is a highly flammable liquid.

What he said.

If you go over 50/50 it becomes flammable.

75/25 would yield better results with the supercharger.

Above 50/50 does pose more dangers, but it should be fine.

I say drop pulley sizes, bigger exhasut or Turbo build?? haha

Crazy talk.. Go big or go home.. You asked for what you can do next for a better gain and I told you.. 90 meth and 10 water you can add the **** out of timing and see real gains with the methanol.

How big are your *****?

I personally think that you would still need more water to cool for all the added timing..

75/25.

You could get HIDs. I have projector HIDs for sale (6000K) for 110$(brand new). I dunno if they will fit 2nd gen, maybe they will. Cheers!

if you have huevos grandes, bump the timing up 1 deg at a time until it either shows kr or blows up. The cars I'm tuning are running straight -20 washer fluid which is at most only 40% methanol. Seem to like 24* to 25* of timing but they are only running 2.8" or 2.9" pulleys.

heres a potentially dumb question...

the methanol mixture is flammable above 50/50, so why would you want to run more timing with a 75/25 mix? wouldnt that increase the potential for pre-detonation?

auston your next best bang for your buck would probably be a 3inch exhaust. and curt should be able to pull more out of your car with tuning in the future.
