Non-itercooled supercharger on meth?
Is anyone runing a non-intercooled S/C with meth? Meth being used for the cooling.
I already have most of meth injection kit left over from my last car. I plan on setting it up for my n/a car right away. A small shot should cool the intake charge enough to keep it from pulling timing this summer. It gets 90 and 90 here about all summer and into the fall. I already have a SCT and a friend of mine has some injectors, so I would only need to buy a tuner S/C kit. I've seen the Vortech tuner kit for $2610 from Livernois(sp).
Some people will probably say this is not a good idea, but I saw a S197 shootout in a mag recently that had a Vortech blower without intercooler, with meth rinning 10's.

I don't like Vortech and Paxton's intercoolers. I would go with meth, and still pull out timing until you get it on a dyno.
Rumor has it the centrifugals like to tear up the factory charge motion plates when the boost comes on - get some delete plates.
my christmas present this year is gonna be a Powerdyne. There's a lot of haters, but they work, they're cheap, and it doesn't require engine oil for cooling, which is important to me on a road course. i want my oil where it needs to be.
The Powerdyne is under 3k for the entire kit - food for thought

The best price I know of for Powerdyne is at R&E Racing in lancaster, Ca. It's like $2800 something shipped.
You will only see about 100hp increase at the wheels, but for it's price and simplicity it's a great deal. You aren't at the 450 danger zone, and it's HALF of most kits.

I was thinking about getting the meth kit installed this summer by Lidio @ Alternative Auto. He puts the Alky kit on and says it should make a great difference. I have put about 6k on my powerdyne and love it. No problems as of yet, knock on wood, and it was cheap and install only cost me $400.
