I havent heard of any failures with our primary two tuners LME and Torrie,now in regards to Diablo they certainly had some less than fortunate catastrophic events,not sure if it was meth related though.  Z

How did Bob with the red Flex in FL blow up his engine?  I know it was his fault, but he was running meth at the time.

Correct, his own fault.

Had absolutely nothing to do with his Unleashed tune, nor did it have anything to do with his kit.

He mixed up his own concoction of juice, vapor locked it, and umm yea. Lesson learned.

But as I stated previously, all of these systems have proven uber safe, and the benefits, outstanding.

Run (any) system as it was intended, and/or recommended by the mfg'er, and cero problemos.

Actually Bob is doing well, I just spoke with him recently (within last 4 weeks) and he still has his Flex oddly enough, so ironic his name popped up. He recently replaced his PTU, as well as some suspension stuff due to normal wear/tear. Bought himself a new Vette, and is having himself lots of fun.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

I will be putting Meth on the '13.  After long talks with Mike and seeing Jon (91hybrid) car run, I was sold.  Just not sure what kit to buy.  I like the Snow kit cause I'm pretty sure the F150 injection plate with fit out cars, so no drilling anything.  I got all winter to think this thru.

Do you run anything for your washer fluid?

If yiu are running meth, you do need to keep an eye on the meth tank levels.  A pretty simple check to add to your routine.

Or if your like me and used your washer res, you get the low washer fluid light come on inside the vehicle.  Works like a charm...

No I don't in the summer. But will be pulling the pump for the winter and running washer fluid then. Other that that my window stays decent. Never had an issue. Also most washer fluids have 30-32% meth in them already. And I use rain X. Lol.

Wait, so in here guys are saying installing a meth kit is easy, in another they say it takes like 10 hrs.  Which is it?

Both.

There are plenty of tasks that are "easy" and at the same time require lots of labor time.

A prime example is when I do inventory at work. It is easy but it takes quite a bit of time to do it properly.

Go with the meth! I have a system with a 300 psi pump, a # 12 nozzle and most importantly a meth controller. The controller makes tuning easier. With just catted LMS down pipes and a 3rd cat/muffler delete and much tuning from Torrie, My 2012 PP SHO runs 12.44 @ 111.29mph here in South Florida. I have stock turbos and exhaust And I have 255/45/20 DWS tires which slow me down a bit.

Install took about 6 hrs and tuning took at least that long. I used Devil's own parts to tap into the washer tank and custom mix the meth exactly 50/50 with DISTILLED water. Only use washer fluid in emergency as it has cleaners and other additives which can harm your motor. Pure water is better in emergency.

Meth system is best bang for the buck!

Good Luck!

Nitrous!

I was contemplating a wet kit for awhile but I have no idea where to tap the fuel on the 13 eco flex.  Looking at the pics of yours the 13 and up must be different???

There should be a metal to plastic line in the passenger side of the engine compartment. You can use adapters there to get you a -4 AN fitting.
