Looking for the correct "Devils Own" system for the following configuration: 05 Chevy Corvette 6L LS2 Motor - stock bottom end AFR 225/70cc Heads 224/232 .581/.595 115 LSA Cam Magnuson Supercharger 122ci - 14lbs boost Supermaxx 1 7/8 headers - no cats Crane Hi-Perf Lifters - 7:1 Gold Race Roller Rockers Currently running a 3.4 pulley with 10lbs boost @ 3800 RPM. Looking to go to a 3.2 pulley for around 13-14lbs boost. What would be the correct configuration (pump, sing/dual injectors, etc.) for a 50/50 alcohol setup? Thanks... Rick |

We have done plenty of LS2 GTO's, you can find users all over www.ls1gto.com But running 14psi with a maggie and the kit will be closer to 15psi because the extra boost the added seal of the spray gives you from the rotors. I would recommend or LS1/LS2 kit with a 2 bar standalone map sensor for the controller to read and the dual nozzle upgrade since your running more than 12psi of boost. Standard M14 plus a M2 for that extra punch. Maggies have higher outlet temps then say a procharger therefore need a bit more to keep things cool. Hopes that helps you out. Any other questions feel free to PM me. |

Hello all this is my first post. I have a 2006 c6 procharged d1sc 3.9" pulley 14#'s (boost @ 6200 rpm) with kooks 1 7/8 headers and exhaust, qtp electronic waste gate, a vortech mondo bypass valve, and methanol injection. I have run my methanol injection with dual nozzles - 1st one is a 1gph nozzle right before blower, and second one is a 10 gph right before the throttlebody. I set it up to start at 2.5 #'s boost and go full 150psi at 7 #'s boost running 50-50 mix. According to the nozzle calculator I need more flow - I was wondering if anyone knows if can I go bigger before the blower. Since I put that nozzle in I noticed car runs stronger in warm weather it really helps untill 85 degrees. I am worried about 2 things wityh bigger nozzle blower blades and maf sensor if i went to 3 gph nozzle would it hurt either? Looking forward to some educated opinions! |

You should really be at around 14gph with 14psi on your set up, Unless you have some ungodly large injectors on your system. Then again every vehicle is different, If your not getting any knock with your setup then there is no need to go bigger especially if your around 11:5 AF ratio. The LS series engines really like 100% methanol for the biggest gains in power.

How are the nozzles rated @ 100 psi or 150 psi - I thought @ 100 psi so if that is correct I should be closer because @ 7#'s boost I am @ 150psi and that would put me closer to 14 gph. I would though like to put a slightly larger nozzle (2-3 gph) ahead of the Supercharger for the dual benefit of cooler charge coming out of supercharger and IAT sensor reading colder air (giving me more timing). What I am concerned about is the supercharger impeller (getting beat up by the fluid) & the MAF (getting fouled up by too much moisture in air). Car seems to run great up to 85 degree's F ambiant temp above that I think the IAT is dialing back timing. I do agree that 100% methanol would be great but I am concerned about the flamability of running 100% methanol (invisible flame and all) so I made the decision to run 50/50. Can anyone help with this?

Here is how the nozzle actually work. Quote:

Thank you that helps a ton! So just to some up, I am only slightly low on amount being injected as I have the 1 gph (actually flowwing about 1.2 @ 150 psi) pre blower and the 10 gph (actually flowing 12 gph) so total is about 13.2 @ 150 psi. When I go to calculator I put in 6.0 liter, 14#'s boost, and 6500 max RPM. It tells me I should be flowing 17 gph, but 14 is probably all I need. The bottom end is stock, car is very low mileage (just turned 10K) don't want to blow it up for miscalculating methanol injection. Car has only 44lb. injectors (rely on methanol injection to make up the difference) when dyno - tuned all was well with afr 11.7 ish (this was with 10gph nozzle only) however car only made 12 #'s boost (made 623 rwhp @ 6100 on 75 degree day). Making more since switching to mondo valve (must seal better?) but added the preblower 1gph nozzle. Methanol injection some amzing stuff. Basically allows me to run 14#'s boost with 10.9 compression and smallish injectors on a cast piston motor using 93 oct. gas! Can't really afford to re-dyno right now so want to do a best guess set-up for most hp with as little risk as possible. I know that adding over 300 rwhp to a stock block (I would guess car making 640 rwhp now - only made about 335 rwhp stock) is on the edge to say the least, but don't want to find that a simple miscalculation (methanol) by me cost the shortblock. So to run more methanol would you add another nozzle ( bring total up to 3) or drill the one I have out just a touch? Or just leave it as is, having what feels like full power up to an 85 degree day is something I can live with. Just one more question how much do you think that 1 gph nozzle is lowering my IAT? Well thanks for all your help!
