I'm curious as to why you don't run it all the time considering it's pretty cheap and adds a bunch of power?
Another question: does the meth get used up much if you're not boosting much?

Remember that more timing doesn't always equal more HP. Timing is just like it's name, it is timing the valvetrain events and once you pass the point of effieciency with a particular combo adding additional timing doesn't help.At least that's who I've always known it to be.
The STS kit doesn't have the adjustableness of the AlkyControl kit and it's awesome progressive controller. It's a big pain in the *** to wire up but it's a very cool kit. I lik the fact I can easily dial in more meth at the touch of a dash mounted ****. Makes for a more secure feeling on the street if I notice even a tad bit of detonation.
