for track only outings, nitrous is definately the way to go. for day to day and longevity i'd rec a meth kit. i'll be curious to see if Liver does a premaf meth setup or put it right before the throttle body. 100% meth is really hard on MAFs, but you'll gain huge by cooling the turbos down (but they say anything in liquid form hitting the turbine is hard on the turbos physically), since we all know they're out of their efficiency maps when turned up. And, the meth will definately be good and atomized by the time it did make it to the motor! Preturbo is wasteful though too, in regards to shear amount that'll make it to the motor. I'd say it's a fine balance. Also, post maf, post turbo, post intercooler will make you solely rely on the wb's to catch the enrichment accurately and instantly.

Now this is greed talking... but do people run both? For the octane benefits and performance advantage and spray on top of that? I've seen the turbo diesel guys stack propane and nitrous, but I don't know of that's apples to staplers or...

So the meth kit is boost activated.... is that through tapping into a vacuum line or is it computer controlled?

Is it safe to daily drive with the meth kit and tune?

I've seen people that stack much more. But tuning is the issue at that point. I've seen a gas pickup with a turbo, runs E85, sprays meth, sprays a wet nitrous shot and injects vp race gas with it. wild setup.

You add a MAP or tap the factory MAP. You can absolutely daily drive with meth and meth tune. As long as you don't run out of meth, it'll be just like anything else. It's not magic, so if you abuse it, it'll let you know.
Some kits spray progressive and monitor the MAP and drive the pump according to a predescribed ramp rate (and a min/max point) vs actual boost pressure seen by the MAP.

You can splice into the stock MAP sensor wiring or tap into a vacuum line.

There is no problems with daily driving with it. To my knowledge all of the SHO and Flex guys we have running it use it daily. We also build a lot of high hp pump gas cars that run meth for safety.
