I think it will depend on what class you run.
BTW you will love meth on your boosted car.
It helped mine a lot with all the heat and crappy 91 octane gass

Is the NHRA rules going to be followed pertaining to safety gear if you run faster than 11.49???

Just curious how you guys pick the pairings also?
Is it done like a grudge race or do you try to line up cars with comparable ET's??

I would love to represent the Ford camp in my Lil 2 valve.

Later friends,

Perry

I hope there is a a good turn out for ca fords and the chevy camp. [patriot] I hope when they have the classes and et limits all figured out they will post them up on our site so we can figure out what exact class we will be runnin in.

aslowdodge did you have any before or after #s at the track or dyno? My motor is 9.8 to 1 with a pullied up vortech non intercooled, so I am hoping for some great results. [burnout]

I don't have any perfect data. On a dynojet I only got 580 something with 680 something torque. I had a feeling the rockers were improperly adjusted. I readjusted them and change cats to a little freer flowing ones.
On a dynapak on the tune I had It immediately detonated as soon as boost hit and I had 9 degrees of timing pulled. With methanol I went full timing ( actually went beyond) and detonation was gone. The dyno reading was approx 670/780. The meth allowed me to bring back all the timing which robbed power. Also the meth has higher octane and the water has a cooling effect.
On the 100 shot best pull of 3 ( in my sig) with no detonation whatsoever. Depending on your car you could easily add at least another 30 hp with the meth ( probably more). It's cooling and octane are a double plus.
I would run a 50/50 mix

or just run staright meth, works better, and the cost difference is minimal to 50/50
