Spray meth before the blower and you will have constant IAT, you won't need an intercooler and can advance timing. Spray meth before the blower and before the TB and you will have very constant IAT, you won't need an intercooler and you can advance timing alot more safely and make more power.

Get an intercooler and be able to advance timing some but the IAT will not always be the same. Making your power output fluctuate

Meth if you can find a cheap source of methanol. I'd also invest in the safeinjection module if you plan to DD on it. It might prevent you from making a 2k-3k dollar mistake.

if you do methanol injection, i would make sure you have all the safety stuff to go with it because i have a friend that blew his motor by not having all the safety stuff. i would go with an intercooler. that in my opinion would be your safer bet. but has anyone ever thought of putting an intercooler before the supercharger??? i dont know if it would work or not but i just thought that would be cool since i never saw it be done.

I didn't want to say anything, but I can tell you this is completely false on an Eaton setup. I lose as much as 3 tenths if I run back to back.
