Hoooreeee sheeet ....  :D  Un-freaking believable.. damn son,  32-degrees 'peak' WoT timing on tonight's run.  (dammit. misread the log in excitement.. :P  )

I will NEVER regret buying that meth kit now... nope no question at all.

AJP .. JEBUS man.. I do not see why you just quit your job and go full time Tuner bother.  I have had another tuner and i will NOT go back. Quality and patience are hard to find you got'em in spades ..

You EVER end up in Eugene Oregon the beer and steaks are on me ..

Ok for posterity here are my logs thus far...

Nice to read that another person is beyond elated with their Methanol Kit.

Convincing the naysayers has always been a challenge. But glad to see you yourself are happy.

Continued successes going forward!

Thanks for posting the logs, Topher!  Glad it has all come together for you, been kind of a haul :thumb:

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!

Well ALOT of it was a self learning experience,. And it has been educational frustrating fun scary but ultimately vastly rewarding..  when I get back from Hawaii I cannot wait to take her back to the strip.

After the meth is dialed in it may be time!  As for the regret .. man that's a tough call I thought i'd stop at pump gas myself. 

On one hand I know were exceeding the PTU's TQ limits now so there is risk.   But damn.... the dig and pull on this thing!

Yeah.  I think for now Meth is just not something I need.  Daily driver and never get to track sooo...

But hearing your journey and results get me thinking.  Maybe in a year when my warranty expires.....

When you going to get to the track?

Generally I'm an easier driver than most people here and haven't even been to the track this year with my DD, but since the meth install a year and a half ago, I wouldn't want to be without it.

Glad you are happy! Interesting he is still using throttle control a bit, hows the traction when you break boost? Here is a meth long from mine with Brads tune.. not as long a pull as the police are cracking down out here... 205kpa with 25+ degrees of advance... I have one with more timing but I can't get traction with that tune even at a prepped track..

curious if the throttle closure helps with traction...

Genuine question here, not being confrontational/mocking... 
What benefit are you seeing from it for a DD or car you do not race.  I know it will lower iat, but for a mellow drive home car is there a benefit I am overlooking?  Mine is running 125-150* low throttle cruising or at stoplights, but the car pulls pretty darn strong as is, or is it just that much better?  I see 6psi+ daily, sometimes 13-14psi.
