Update:5/22/2014
I have some info I want to share with you on my water meth injection project. Even though I installed it a year ago I just realized something that I didn't catch from looking at my charts. Last year after a dyno run at SGC, I grafted my results. I realized that the HP/Trq numbers were not overly impressive with a peak gain of 11HP and 10lbs of Trq with the use of the water meth injection on my modified engine. The engine felt like it ran better from the seat of the pants. Yesterday I was analyzing the chart and just now realized that using the water meth injection on my modded motor returned or bettered the torque numbers of my engine to the stock performance levels in the lower RPMs (2500-3500). It did not however equal or better the HP numbers. I had never compared the water meth injection use on my mod motor to a stock engine with no meth injection. When I did this answered my question on why the car felt better using the meth then without, the peak numbers are what threw me off. More torque down low equals more go where you need it. We all know that engine upgrades result in more power and torque but pushes everything up on the RPM scale. I was happily surprised to find this and thought I would share this with you. Water Meth injection does help our engines on torque. Updated excel spread sheet attached.

Thanks' for the update Tony. I just want to say that beside the small power increase from water/meth inj. , The fact that water/meth inj. will help clean the carbon build up on the cammed/modded etc. LT5's is a major plus to all of us.

I just talked (email) with Mark Haibeck and he said he was going to install a kit on and LT5 and dyno and tune to exploit its use. I sent this data to him yesterday. Hopefully with his facility he will have a slide show next year to brief us on the results of his findings.

Interesting... glad to hear Mark is going to explore this idea further, going to keep my eye on this.
