I'm gonna start researching that right now actually. If anyone has any useful basic-advanced info, or good links, please shoot.

OK after reading this I started to laugh. Run it like a normal setup, tune for the gas you will be running and be done with it. 7-8 psi out of the right turbo will not be a problem with our CR. 11.3 isn't anything crazy. It will need one hell of a tune.

And that is exactly why I don't feel as if I can run it JUST LIKE any other setup. I know you need to pick a tuner you can trust, but I'm not sure what route I wanna go with there. I figured a slightly lower cr and either some higher octane fuel or a water/meth injection type deal would not only comfort me a little, but also let me push the bounds of what I could do on straight pump gas w/11.3:1 cr. That's all. But thanks for the advice.

Meth injection is a hassle. Just set up for E85 and be done with it.

arent you the guy that always promotes water/meth injection and complains about how there is less stored energy (BTU's) in ethonal fuel? i know it has a higher octane, which makes it ideal for this guys set up but please explain to me JD why you have had such a change of mind?

e85 is simple. Water/meth injection is far more complex. For the minor gains you would make with water/meth injection over e85 all of the hassle and extra tuning would make it not worth it. Especially since its probable that you will never get the injection fine tuned correctly. E85 is great cheap race fuel. If you have access to it and you run a quasi performance car, use E85(assuming you don't mind spending more time at the pump).

ooh I know all of that, but considering e85 isnt available here, and water is free, and meth is $2 a litre, it's way more beneficial to me

Re: High CR LS must have boost! Couple things I'm unsure about though.

Well, e85 sounds nice, but there are no stations within like 15 minutes of my house that have it. And I really don't wanna do a half hour or more of driving everytime I wanna get gas.

Where do you even get methanol? I tried google searching it for places in wisconsin, and it was all medical studies or poison center ----.
