Be careful. It's another failure point. If you tune it very aggressively with the meth, and the flow stops during a pull, you'll be buying a motor. If you just use it for safety and don't push the boost too far, it'll be ok. Use a 50/50 mix of meth and water so you don't have a car fire if you have a leak.

Also, How fast can you spin that supercharger before overspinning it?

It sounds weird that you are maxing out the intercooler before maxing out the head unit. So if you are overspinning it you are just creating heat.

If you are not overspinning then i would just look at a bigger, better front mount. That way you wont add all the complexity of that meth setup. I personally think Meth is a bandaid and as stated, can lead to many other problems for you. And do you really want to have to worry about filling up with meth all the time?

Iam not even close to over spinning the sc,i have the 12lbs pulley that I will install over this winter along with cjm fuel system,i was just looking at ways to max my setup,dont know much about water/meth kits so I was curious if anyone was currently using it,i find that the center brace on the z blocks alot of the intercooler,was looking into FI's smaller replacement one to fix that issue.
