Hey manCF - $450. They ray from $450-$500 used - but I got it from a vendor I trust - so knew it was all checked out good Gotta say the more I drive with it - the more I LIKE it .....lmao - bad news Terms of HP - not much different than I was before - as I got rid of the QUAD and got a puck (kinda downgraded) and then got this and installing a new methanol kit.So on theory only230HP + 75 inj + 30 puck + 65 smarty + 20-30 HP between methanol/air intake mods etcSo call it 430HP * 0.85 ...... somewhere between 340HP and 375 HP as a best guess Going to install my he351cw, install headstuds - and possibly stack the smarty with the fueling chip - just too see what 400+ HP is like ........ but will stay closer to this setup longer term I try and find good deals on stuff that I can try and then sell for little loss if I dont like - kinda fun when I have the time which isn't much lately ......

Smarty
Well I got a good deal on a used almost new smarty - so I bought it to see for 1+ month - as I will get (most) my money back.Interesting stuff. I have it stacked with my powerpuck and using level 8. Its pretty aggressive down low with the torque management and the fueling. Overall I would say I like it better than my EDGE or QUAD for responsiveness and DD - just not for the features (no display, no adjustment on the fly).I cant imagine what it would be like with a fueling box like TST. .Any1 wanna lend me one for a month !!! HAHAwowza

Methanol Injection Setup
Reviving this thread ........ sold my original setup a while back ............ now I have put in a STAGEIII which does a EGT/boost mapping to allow for smoother injection cycle - plus a heads up display for injection rate.Just went in tonight ---> gimme a few days and will do some video/pics and some ideas of what I am seeing. Mainly doing this for EGT control towing etc.

Compressor Map
??? Head Gaskett ?? Dunno man thats weird - even the HY would still be in its compressor map range at up to 25-30psi which your not running just driving around town. And such quick spoolup with the hy35 would think efficient at lower end So 1) More air flow with the 64/13 at the same rpm/speeds better combustion/efficiency 2) Lugging a little before in town in OD but not as obvious with the RV275 ? I more inclined to think its both like the extra airflow cfm and the runnning without OD. Injector style plays a role too ... I get same mileage with my +75 HP CPP injectors as my rv275s and both more than stock.

Truck took a dump !!! Now the fun begins!!
If you have the receipt and its the last 48 hours I would make a video as you dump it. At least to get your $130 back at a minimum thats a big hassle man - assume the water in fuel cel didn't kick in ?

Boost Elbow or J-Hook?
Compressor/Inducer/exhaust so like 62mm compressor wheel, 68mm inducer and 12cm exhaust housing for a 62/68/12 Compressor for the air flow (reduce EGT and fueling/power) inducer/exhaust for amount of drive pressure and exhaust flow and spool up effect. But they kinda all work together - I really like the 9cm housings for spoolup and never really saw large EGT drops for larger ones
