Saturday was my first chance to try out my winter mods at the strip. For reference, last year I was running Hoosier DOT Drag Radials, Long Tube Headers w/cats, and a PLM H/X. According to my logs, my ET would have been about 12.00 @ 116MPH with Saturday's weather.
This year's mods are: 77mm clutched SC pulley, 82mm TB, ECU & TCU tunes by Anthony Lawshee, plus new plugs and wires. I ran a best of 11.65 @ 120MPH. Those mods were good for about .35s and 4 MPH. I still have to add the meth kit and do some dyno-tuning and see if we can't crack the 11.50 barrier.
Keep us (Im at least interested) in how you go with the water meth. I am fitting a kit too and want to use it purely for cooling as I see similar temps to you due to the ambient temps around home. I'm interested in seeing if there are any power 'gains' read:lost power regained, to be made.
air charge rise is pretty good on your car. My car all stock pulleys stock cooling with split and cobra tank 50 deg rise I would get I was able to cool mine starting at 62 deg. fabtech tank and plm heat exchanger now a 100 deg rise.

Do you have a similar log with the stock blower pulley?
It's hard to make a direct comparison because I changed more than just the pulley, and my old logs were taken during varying weather conditions.
In general, however, my IAT's last year (on a stock pulley) would rise about 35-40 deg. F. over the course of a 1/4 mile run. The three logs I have from this year (with a 77mm, 82mm TB, and ECU/TCU tunes) showed about a 50 deg F. rise.
I'll post more logs once I have the meth installed.
Unfortunately I never logged boost last year so I don't know. I did notice how on my logs last weekend the boost was trailing off, so I ordered a new bearing for my BWK so I can put it back on. I'll see next week if it has any affect.

Don't quite understand this one, can you elaborate more please. From what in understand your car staying stock pulleys except for cooling initially with split cooling system only had a 50deg rise, then you upgraded the cooling system to Plm heat exchanger and now you get a 100deg rise wtf
yea that's the voltage on the aeorforce gauge not sure if the front battery being shot since I always get that red light I will prob get a pump and new front battery. prob wont get a chance to race to the fall anyway.
I threw in the towel on the Meth install. I couldn't find anywhere except the trunk to mount the pump. I'm just going to make the best of it for the summer and do a KC and underhood tank next winter.

You can mount the pump near the front bumper, I posted a pic awhile back
