In my experience 350whp was right about where what I consider "reliability" started to be compromised in a track setting.

Yep - I agree Cameron

So long as meth is used as a safety (and not a meth reliant tune) it is absolutely unbeatable. If you do go dry or have a meth system issue you don't blown up

Up to 650hp, generally use a single nozzle setup. When used on a preset psi uses far less meth than most would believe.

I have a single nozzle 100% meth LS triggered at 4 psi. Have used < 4 gallons of meth in the last 16 months. Granted it does not see bad weather or daily use, but is driven hard. In that time it has made a dozen or so passes at the drag strip and 14 standing mile runs, with countless on ramp blasts.

I would have never guessed how little is required to be effective.

Running more boost/timing with no downsides, even keeps your internals clean.

Also our wiper fluid tanks are pretty huge if you have the headlight nozzles..
Not to mention you are running 110+ eq. octane for 1-2$ a gallon. But it just is not very welcomed around here.

when you say the gtx3076r is 600 hp turbo. to get that you need to get the full 600 Lbs/m into the engine @ ~30 psi from that turbo first.
