Depends on what you are running. On the STS kit I would say anything over 8psi will probably require meth unless you live in Antarctica and it's always cold as hell LOL.
On a typical turbo kit with a good intercooler you probably wont need meth until well over 10psi (read some of Parish's posts).

remember guys, running anything above 7PSI is pushing it without a fuel setup and new injectors. lets say 450rwhp, you need new injectors and possibly a fuel pump. anything above 450rwhp for sure a fuel pump.
the injection kit is cool, but wont dissipitate the need for more fuel, will only cool the charge.
food for thought.

yeah, fuel system is a must.
I'm going with an inline pump since nobody that I have found so far makes a bigger in-tank pump like stock. I am also gonna see if I can max out the 43lb injectors. LOL
Eventually I can see a full blown fuel system in my future.

heres a thought...could a turbo houseing be say jethot2000 coated so it wouldnt transfer as much heat into the intake charge? ( not to mention look bitchen )

Air passing through the turbo and being squeezed through a 3/4" opening and excelerated picks up a ton of heat. It's not uncommon to see 200+deg air temps right out of the turbo that's why ALL front mount turbo systems require a heat exchanger where not all blower setups do.

a single inline 340m will go a long ways, got my last trunk into the 11's and i think it would have pulled an 11.5. racetronics makes a prety good set up if you can get jack to send it to ya, i waited a couple of months at least for it, he told me right up front that he only makes them in his spare time.
it is a duel intank 340m set up with a hobbs switch to turn on the 2nd pump, i think it will support over 800rwhp(maybe even 900rwhp) with stock lines but some people disagree, it was super easy to install, truely plug and play. cost $550 and you have to send them a fuel pump moduel to modify.
