Re: 185 pulley+ water/meth injection=??

Cool intake charge along with additional detonation prevention (high octane of meth) with the proper tune could do wonders. There is a turbo silverado in my local car club putting down 7XX+hp and he was saying water/meth gave him another 40hp. My thoughts are that there would be big gains, I don't know if it would be quite as big of a gain but I'll let someone else with more experience chime in.

I'm curious as to where you heard this information from?
I have the 185mm pulley installed with thousands of miles on it. I have an Intake Air Temperature gauge, Boost gauge and I've had my SRT on a dyno (on a 90Deg day). I was worried about this issue when I installed the 185mm (not knowing what to expect) but I now know its not an issue - - anymore then the stock pulley.
What do you consider (or have been told) is a high intake air temp?
I think a meth kit might give you some advantage on the drag strip regardless of what mods you have done to your forced induction system. I'm just not sure if meth injection would be efficient for daily use..
