I suppose an intercooler could be fabbed up to fit your car if you wanted to go that route. I've never run methanol in my cars, so I can't really opine.

if i ever felt like blowing 4k on a blower kit i'd probably try to do something like this but to me $4000 is 400+whp all motor so **** the blower.

ya im preety sure KB doesnt make a I/C kit for my car. Ill have to Call KB and double check.
Ive never heard of Meth ruining heads? i know a number of guys that use meth and have no problems. If it did cause damage to the heads, why is it such a hot item for todays sport/muscle cars?

Water Methanol injection is your best bet and is safe to run on a Kenne Bell supercharger. If you run Water/Meth. you can run about 2-3 more psi with the same octane."
So i think im going to look for a good water/meth kit and up my boost to 10psi. + get a new tune

Meth injection will not mees up anything. I sprayed pre blower and pre TB for a year and when I pulled it all apart the parts looked like brand new. I sprayed straight meth too. I will never run boost again without meth.

Do you get the same benefits from running meth N/A as you would with a blower? I guess I have never seen anyone run it N/A before.

Running it NA cools the charge and raises octane level allowing for a bit more agressive tune but you get the most benefits from running it with nitrous or boost.

Call Rodney at AIS for great info and bad *** kits, Call Snow performance for bad info and crappy kits.
