meth on a 2.2

worth it?

running FULL bolt ons, stg 2 cams, shaved head, etc

would it be worth it to run meth if not boosted?

not really. wont hurt, and you can throw some more timing at it, but it wont be like running a 50 shot (and this is coming from an anti-nitrous guy)

unless your starting to get well over 11.5:1 or more, and plan on getting a little more aggressive with the timing, then save your money and spend it elsewhere

not anytime soon
maybe someday ahah



as for what i plan, im looking to go 12:1 or 12.5:1 pistons with fully ported/ polished head, but this has to wait for funds and downtime.
as for timing, more timing is ALWAYS good so whatever i can get :P

I've still got to order my CAI header-back.

I have all the money, just haven't had time. I've got monday off, though, so I'll probably do it then.

I'd also like stage 2 cams, but who knows..
