Meth questions

Does anyone here ever run meth selectively?

What I mean is that I am working with trifecta and vince keeps telling me that he does not want to make my tune any more aggressive because it will run too lean when I run without meth.

I have tried to tell him a few times that my meth runs all the time as long as I am above 10psi. wouldn't a car tuned for meth do damage to the car if it is not running meth?

Maybe he is just making the tune really safe or something but apparently we are not on the same page.

He trying to make it safe, not everyone keeps up on filling the fluids the tune he made more than likely is safe in the event that you run out.

If the owner of the car knows the responsbilities they have to keep up the meth and he wants a more aggressive tune then why would the tune argue? Get it in writing then if the meth does happen to run out or not spray it on the owner of the car not the tuner.

OP the car will run lean if you run out of meth. Yes it can hurt the car if the timing is real aggressive and there is no meth spraying.

As long as you keep up with filling the meth there should not be a problem with him tuning you how you want.

If he doesnt want to do it your way find someone near you with HPT, they will be glad to help you.

That is what I always worry about with meth. Tank is always full but wouldn't it suck if the line got clogged. Guess thats why I have all of the gauges. As soon as you see something out of the ordinary you shut it down and check your **** out!!

Thats why SCcobaltSS and I went to E85 and dropped the meth. He blew his **** up because his meth nozzle clogged. No more worries now.

I did blow my motor due to a clogged nozle. It sucked... Near 7k later I am really close (about 300 away) to twincharged...

Just make sure your nozzle has a filter and you shouldnt clog. IDK what happened to my filter, I was new to meth and didnt even know I was missing it. Now I know! haha

Vince has a way to output from the VCM to the Meth Controller. Have him set the tune select to be a meth select. With the button a certain way, meth tune and meth are on. Without that, regular no meth tune.
