    so heres the question;

    How much boost or power can i run with just watermeth and no intercooler on a aluminum blocked, 5.0l stroker with 9.0:1 comp?

    the turbo is a gt4788 and its a complete drag car with c16, i dont want to run a intercooler due to weight/plumbing/ and just plain being simple. i would supposed the car would need to make around 750-850 rwph at the weight its at to target the et im looking for.

    anyone ran anything similar or have any ideas,

    thanks in advance guys

    not a fan of water meth for that size turbo

    why not run a e bay air to water in the fender.?

    strait from the turbo back into the intake<the piping will be short>

    another option will be carburated on alky... :D

    why not lose the intercooler, and spray 100% methanol ??
    you will max out any turbo u put on, in the engine parts are strong enough

    Contact the guys from AIS on here and ask them, they'll give you an idea of what you can expect non intercooled. I bought a 4 nozzle setup for my 383, 80mm turbo setup, 1 injected pre turbo and the other 3 directly into the intake. Based on what you want and what I want for mine, I don't see it being a problem.
