Can't go wrong with Aeromotive. Their stuff is pricey, but good quality.

That’s what I hear, about the quality... my wife isn’t happy I have to buy stuff 2x. I’m excited about it. It’s the 3-20psi with a different spring for fuel EFI for when I decide I’m not happy with the carb

With my current setup would it be beneficial for me to do water meth injection? And should I put 1.25 rockers?

[buguy]

I think water/meth is always a good idea. All depends on your goals but it certainly won't make it worse!
For me, if there is no good reason to add 1.25 rockers, i wouldn't. It's a hefty price for very little gain.
I don't know what your running, but a good spring/springs on the valve would help as well as a good valve job.
If your valve train is already in good shape, add that water/meth and crank the boost up!

[AdamStrahan51]

Right now I’ve got the TCS10 cam, single spring ponchotos and CB super stock 1.1 rockers. I kind of want to see what I can do with the motor... have some fun with it you know. Will it be noticeable at low boost with the meth inj?

[buguy]

Well the water/meth doesn't really "do" anything that adds power. It cools the intake charge which helps fight off detonation. That lets you run more boost safely. That's how these guys are able to run 25 pounds of boost. Without it you would be stuck at 10 psi (or so). Every 14.7 pounds of boost doubles your hp, so you can just imagine taking the power your car makes at 10 psi, at 25 psi, double that power. It's incredible!
Of course these are best case numbers.
There isn't anything you could do to your engine that would net the same power as more boost does. That's why we do whatever it takes to make more boost.

[madmike]

single springs are going to hold back some power,, but yes on the W/I system
don't waste your $ on them 1:25's

[John S.]

I’m with Mike. 1.25’s will require dual springs.

[AdamStrahan51]

Well it’s a huge improvement with that new fuel system so far. Probably shouldn’t have yet, but I put the 10 and 7lb spring In my wastegate. It’s a hell of a difference. I guess I’ll pull the trigger on the meth inj. And possibly get another spring for that wastegate too

[buguy]

Just get a cheap manual boost controller. I think i bought one for like $8 on ebay. Then it can be whatever boost you want. Even if you don't want a lot more the help prevent boost creep. I think my 12 pound spring started opening at like 5-6 psi. Manual controller let it get to whatever i wanted and not before. It's a huge improvement. That was probably the best thing i ever did to my carbed turbo.
Plus once you have your water/meth dialed you can start cranking it up as you please.

[Therealkoop]

With water meth I went from 200*f intake charge temps at 10psi, to 122*f at 15psi.

I have a 3/4 gallon alc/water tank or something like that. Ive used less than 2 gallons of alc/water mix with around 5 fills of gas and I pretty much get that thing to spray off every stop.

[AdamStrahan51]

Snow performance stage 2 or AEM with the progressive pump controller?

[AdamStrahan51]

A little off topic, but been working on my paint too
