i think he ran outa meth nozzle. its relatively small even though its the largest of the three aem includes in the kit. you can get bigger, or dual nozzle setups and then i think he woulda be fine for a bit more powa.
I don't know.

I've not seen any bigger kits out there. I thought about going with a direct injected setup...but haven't seen that done either...

they go up to 14 gph lol. aem nozzle is around 8.xxx gph.
fast ship and good customer service. they have a forum to post on, its kinda slow but you get answers from the guy that owns the place. he knows his shit.
I would do a direct injection if you are going to be running it on your new expensive motor. don't want to risk the same thing happening and having one cylinder lean out, because it will cost a lot to repair if that happens.
btw that sucks that you had to fully build the motor, much more $$ than you expected

My question is though...I don't know how much flow the pump will support once you start increasing the nozzle, or adding more nozzles.
Know what I mean?
1 nozzle @ x pressure = y flow.
2 nozzles @ x pressue < flow
I'd hate to have to upgrade pumps/etc.
BUT, I REALLY would like to make 700whp'ish on PUMP gas....

700 on pump would be damned sweet. I just can't bring myself to trust meth that much. I have seen a few times where it has failed, or someone simply didn't add any to the tank and the ems failed to cut.

I just ran the biggest nozzle that came with the AEM kit, with the stock pump that came with the kit. We dyno'd at 25psi (680whp), but ran closer to 30 on my 9.9 pass. Which would put the power way over 700whp. We calculated it to be about 730whp or so IIRC.
I wouldn't recommend to anyone to push it that far though.
As far as rods, I'm running Crowers with A1 rod bolts and they have taken some punishment. My new motor is running the same old rods that I've been running (and the have been in the motor) for years. That's the one thing I didn't replace with the new motor....haha.

My compression has dropped a good amount from 11.1 to 9.1
So, that should help w/any det issue I'd think.

Pushing into the 700+whp range on any pump gas/fuel, regardless of the amount of meth you are spraying. 

Get something stuck in your head, you try to accomplish it.
I don't have an issue with running race gas, BUT I don't have easy access to it, nor am I sure how to set it up.
I'd have to have a way to drain my tank, AND disconnect the methonal.
We don't have drains on the these tanks, so that becomes a hassle in itself. I guess I could wire a switch to the controller/pump so it doesn't spray...
decisions/decisions.
