You have to relocate the IAT sensor to after the meth. Your cars a/f should be tuned with out meth on and very litte timing. Once the a/f is locked down you turn on the meth and start adding timing. The more timing you add the more it will lean out which is what you want because meth is a fuel and you will run rich depending on how you mix or spray straight meth. For example I sprayed straight meth and it dropped my a/f from 12:1 to 11:1 but after getting the timing up to 24* it leaned it back out to 12:1. The last thing your tuner has to do is set the IAT temps for pulling timing. My IAT never went over 78* no matter how hot it was so the computer was set to pull 10* of timing if the IAT was over 90* and pulled 1* for every degree over 90*. If meth ever failed the car whould just have no power and give you a heads up but be completely safe.

The main thing for an NA engine is the cooling and added octane. You can run more timing. Now on a completely stock NA motor not much of a gain maybe 15hp but on a fully built high compression engine your looking at about 50-60hp gain. It works best with nitrous and FI that where you get over 100hp gains. The stuff is so good it's outlawed in just about every class of racing.
