Question About Meth for my car

wan2gofast · 05-29-2006, 06:11 PM

Right now im running Cobb Stage 2 on my 05 STi. I am planning on adding an intake, fuel pump, and a Meth kit to my car for my up coming ProTune. Any idea on what kind of numbers i can expect to put down? And am i making a mistake with a Meth kit, i really dont want to risk any massive reliabilty of the car. I figured since XX Tuning is doing my tune and the install i should be in safe hands. Any recomadations that you guys could throw my way?

all i can say is that right now im looking into the Snow Performance stage 2 kit with their failsafe. SMC makes a direct drop in kit for the 05 and prior WRX's.

I'm glad you got a Meth kit

, How do you like the gains from it?

Theres my plot, faint is protune, dark is 50/50 meth.

I tuned at xx tuning as well and they did a great job other than charging me $50 to replace one wire. (ripoff)

Power mods are Coolingmist stage 2, 1 step colder plugs, catless tbe, perrin ebcs, and MRT short ram intake.

I wouldn't waste my $100 on a fuel pump, its not needed with meth injection.

So what are your numbers at the wheels?

LightWerkz · 05-30-2006, 08:33 PM

Looks like 306/373

StoreBoght · 05-30-2006, 10:25 PM

those are to the flywheel

no those numbers are too the wheels, even though the sheet says flywheel.

unless you really think a stage 2 STI with meth injection, that runs mid 12's at 109mph is at stock horse power levels.

EDIT: the only way to measure flywheel horsepower is to take the engine out of the car and put it on an engine dyno, LOL.
