The only problem there is my tuner is over 10 hrs away. So I need to install the kit before I go to the tuner. I already know he doesn't want to go much over 450 on just pump. The Guy that had this kit before me was around 470 I was told. I would be happy with that but would really like to break 500whp.

on pump gas with a smaller snail hard to hit same numbers as guys with bigger snails. smaller snail more heat. meth,water will help. i ran 50/50 in my sc. also ran straight water. you can run water only and it will cool the charge just fine. but you wont gain the octane that meth provides. just dont rely on it to run a shit ton more power then you can on pump. again, i would tune on pump to max what tuner says he can extract. meth gets old and can be dangerous. so many horror stories on the site. my current setup belted out 450 on pump and i was happy. i sold the meth kit and never looked back.

I may just have to order E85 by the drum. I'm guessing I would have to change my fuel pump out but would ID1000 be enough? I want room to grow down the road. Anything else needed to run E85?

You can run id1000's and pick up an e85 walbro pump (4xx lph) I just put one in my evo. It's super quiet compared to a 255 too
My car made the power it made because it had about 15-20 degrees of timing into it more than any other map I've seen on 93oct. And that was the map AFTER it blew up so I am sure it had more in it before I took the car back.
I would expect probably 440-450hp on 15psi easy.
I think e85 would really be your best bet if it isn't your daily driver in the summer

No its not a daily its a 2000 had 14k miles on it at the start of summer. Its a summer car and a few trips to the strip. I think e85 would be the safer route. I haven't ordered injectors yet but was about to get a set off id1000. I could go bigger if needed tho. Research time . Thanks dbo for your help so far.

This is what I did when I drove my car everyday. Ran a single nozzle AEM kit and ran a 50/50 mix of M1 and distilled water. Went 9.9 @ 141 on it running 93 octane and made 680whp.

Joey, haven't you mentioned before that it is possible to just spray water through a single port on the charge pipe? Does that benefit the motor at all?
