Im in the process of installing a paxton blower, im going the non intercooled route, Im only going to run 8 psi. Im a math guy so some might disagree with me but may I ask what psi you want to run? because meth works best when you really crank up the psi like 15psi or so because you dont have to worry about pre-ignition hardly at all with that set up. But if you run it at all sub 11 idk if you will really see great gains. But ive had little to no real experience with meth.

This is not accurate. You can see gains with meth n/a. More importantly than gains, you will see better consistency. Even if you're not tuning for more power you are at least afforded a better safety margin.

You can also see gains with buying a GTR, I was referring $ to HP. And safety is important but do you have $10mill in liability insurance in case youre sued? of course you dont because the cost of that to the odds dont make that a smart investment. Do I need a 700HP clutch at 500? or 12qtz of oil vs 8? In certain circumstances you do, and safety and reliability is important but $ smart deceisons are as well.

I dont mean to come of and prickish.

To clarify I think the gains of meth are more realized at higher boost levels. In my opinion.

Sure. I was just keeping it factual.

Meth is beneficial at any boost level. You are adding fuel that is in the neighborhood of 110 octane. You will be able to add timing that you normally retard. For example, on a 8psi tune, you might run 16-17 degrees of timing on 93 octane. With the meth you might be at 22-23 degrees. That is a huge change and will be worth probably 50rwhp, even at 8#s. As the boost goes up and you can maintain similar timing, you will even see more additional power. Be careful who you listen to. I personally would not listen to a guy who is adding boost, but no intercooler, lol.....

While I didnt claim to be an expert with meth, thanks for the info, if you really can get that much it seems worth it to me, I might be forgetting why most dont tho, there has got to be a drawback somewhere.

Id rather receive as much information as possible rather than one side of an argument but hey maybe thats just me.
