Watched that last night, they must be spraying a crazy amount of meth.

Would have thought with a high$$ build like that they would have gone with a better fueling than just Lt4 with an Aux pump.

And that means what? They still are not touching my car.
Just because a speed shop does a "couple hundred a year" does not make them a great speed shop... I know mine was done correctly with proper break in periods before the pulls on the dyno.
And looking at RPMs shop in that video, finishing a 'couple hundred a year' is a stretch... and totally agree with rcoe's comment, a high end build like that a using that much meth? Yeah... they know what they are doing....haha (I use Meth for cooling not fueling)

I like watching their videos, the guys and banter reminds me of a shop I worked in years ago. Also like seeing how they make working on these cars appear.

But that guy had to have dropped 25k or more and to have short changed the fueling like that.

Watched it as well and thought holy shit it's gotta be a lot of meth. It's cool to see late model stuff being done but Fran definitely comes off as a dick, less so since he's lost weight but it seems to have rubbed off on the other guys like they're all just miserable or pick on whoever to make themselves feel better. Dont watch it much anymore but the title caught my attention to check it out.

I think this is the best video they have put out. A lot of guys ask about this exact setup and the numbers match where mines were when I did the first batch of work to my car.

My tuner has suggested changing to a balance of direct injection fueling and just enough PI methanol to help cool that air charge but not for tuning. But, it's already illegal in NHRA at sea level because it will exceed the 150 mph max. for this car type, thus requiring a cage, which I won't do.

Its nice to see guys with FI publishing their uncorrected dyno numbers. I like DI and went all in with E85, but alas no E85 in Hawaii so I don't know what to do, boost juice or octane booster don't know. I have 92 octane pump E10 and 89 pump E0, don't get on it much so maybe boost juice would work as i'd use say a gallon every 4 months, octane booster would also work since I fill up one every few months (got other toys to drive) I'd be interested on what your thoughts are of octane booster and no I don't want to stop by the rack to fill up on race gas (might really be an option considering how much I drive LOL).
