There are anti corrosive additives for Methanol fuels. I wonder if they could be used in the meth injection systems....

LOL or until your tank is empty.. Or just mess around with the switch with your keys..
I should probably invest in a new pressure switch..

I'm only running 22* so it's relatively safe tune,, with the meth.


So embarrassing when it got stuck open on the dyno.. There was a nice little puddle under the car, car sounded cammed.. People thought the engine blew. LOL

i have mine set to come on at 9psi and be full force by 16psi, so under everyday driving conditions it doesnt get used much unless im really trying to get on the interstate fast. what else are the entrance ramps for other than product testing?

oh, also, my meth line popped out of the nozzle a few months ago and luckily my interceptor picked up the knock and i got out of it. popped the hood to see what was up and low and behold there was the meth line, just leaking meth all over the engine bay. pushed it back into the nozzle/ injector and it hasnt done it again.
