Well unfortunately I don't have any numbers right now. I had my boost gauge tapped into the bypass valve and it needs to be tapped into the adapter plate to get a boost reading. So the tune thats on it now it pretty conservative. They didn't even throw any timing at it until they can get an accurate boost reading. I'm still having some issues with the IAC howl and some a belt squealing issue, but other than that, it runs great! so much passing power and the whine from the inside is eargasmic!!!

How would you compare the power to say your truck with a 5.4?

I hope all is well with the 4.2! You sure aren't bragging it up as much as I would be!

Sorry man! been busy! haha but I'm not one to brag, I let the quality of my work do the talking for me



I know you all will be freaking out saying that 223 is so low but considering that the V6 mustang guys are getting from 280 to 300 and i'm in a full size 4x4 long bed truck, i'd say its not too shabby. And its still on a rather safe tune. I didn't want anything to be unreliable

Cool! I think 223 is pretty good from a 4.2!
Good for you man!

Well I finally got my methanol injection system setup. I love it! I can definitely feel and extra little kick up around 5lbs of boost. I can't wait to get it re-tuned so they can throw some more timing at it and make some real power!
However, I had a little horror story when I set it up. Sunday evening I finished up my wiring and topped off the tank and took her for a spin and it ran awesome! But later at night I went to start it up and the motor hydrokocked :confused: The Devilsown Meth kit that I bought had an optional check valve that I didn't purchase because I didn't understand what it was. But basically the whole time my truck was running, meth was being sucked down into the cylinders under vacuum not just at 5lbs of boost. So It flooded my cylinders! I did save it all though, pulled my plugs, pulled the fuel pump fuse, cranked her over, and she spat out a bunch of meth! I was so relieved. I immediately ordered my check valve and I installed it Thursday night and it runs like a champ!
