Not going to argue that! Meth is the lowest cost / highest risk solution of those listed, but it is effective at making good power - big question is - are the failsafe products that are available enough to prevent damage if a pump failure occurs. I don't have that answer yet.

Actually the pumps are quite reliable, at least Alky Control pumps are. Plenty of people running around with no issues.

This is a very good point. Good tuners know how to put in failsafes within the tune, there are also mechanical things that can be done. Me personally like a combination of both.

A lot of people "think" they have failsafes, and that their failsafes will PREVENT them from blowing an engine. The truth is, an engine should never rely on meth, it should be a supplement. A meth dependent engine will have a catastrophic failure when it runs out of meth.
