I did the on that one also.

I weigh in at just over 170 usually. I need to get back down to my 150 weight. 30lbs of stationary mass is equal to what...3hp?

I wasn't joking.

That would be like adding 6hp and help a bit with cornering and braking.

Cosmin is a skinny guy. I remember those days.

I'm going to hook my meth kit back up this summer when it gets warm and see if that helps anything out. My turbos are about maxed out so without NOS I'm not getting much more.

The meth kit will DEFINITELY help out. If anything, you're reducing the amount of pinging in your engine.

On my dad's Grand National, I would say--judging solely by butt dyno--it picked up a good 15-25 hp running methanol. This will widely vary though, based on the size of your meth injector, and how much pressure you're running.

Meth is though. Best smell on earth

I don't have any issues with detonation or pre-detonation right now. That's the big reason it has not been hooked back up.

I know this summer here in Phoenix I will have to pull some timing back out like I did before so that will spool me up to get it hooked up and have a summer tune added to my UTEC. Right now I just have a Pump gas tune, pump gas - 2 degrees, pump gas -4 degrees and a Q16 tune. I have room to add a pump gas +meth/H2O once July hits.

Meth=lower IAT, which means more power

Those are nasty pics!!

That's when I was working on that Impul bumper and it wasn't painted. Plus I hate the look of those 40 series tires.

I think the next project when the amp rack and side markers are done may be to paint those oem 19's graphite or black. I think the car would look mean as hell all black. I'll black out my trim too.

No rush at all.

Did you say you have your stock amber corners? Either way, drop off the LED's and your clear ones when you drop off the brakes.
