It took a few hours to do it because I basically had to modify everything for it to fit. I advanced the timing to 14 degrees and the fuel psi is at 33 with out vacuum. The car runs lean of course and I can feel it but when the boost increases I have the boost cooler controller set at 8 psi and it pulls hard to 26 psi boost. The car feels like the torque is missing but it is much smoother and the mph climbs significantly quicker. When I let off the throttle The methanol can be heard burning in the exhaust pipe. There wasn't any knocking, pinging ect... but there is much more tuning to be done. My goal is 295 hp and 320 lb/tq with my set-up. The best part is when I lifted the hood after 5 hard runs, the under hood temps were still cool and the intake manifold was very cold to the touch.:nanarock:

I'm using snow performance stage 2 kit with the 175ml/m nozzle and boost juice which is 49% methanol and 51% water. It's really cool stuff and much safer than nitrous. I have my fuel pressure set at 35psi without vacuum and timing at 14 degrees advanced right now and 24psi. ist stage id 10% at 8 psi and 2nd stage is 100% at 15+ psi. I may need to advance it 1 more degree.

Wow its good to see a few guys in va.

I also have the progressive snow kit, I started with the next size up nozzle and had issues. I never got it right before I pulled it apart.

Glad its working for you.

How did you decide that you were going to add 4* of timing? or did you add timing slowly?
