Going to push a different direction with our car for now Options

[Fastbird]

It's been a while, but it's time to make some changes to the setup of our swapped car. Remember that with a SMT6 piggyback and some other work, the stock CT26 made 249 HP and about 260 TQ to the wheels in Summer of 06. Over the winter I noticed that the CT26 will actually put out 18-20 PSI and HOLD IT TO REDLINE with good enough air.

So here's what I'm thinking (and it will all happen relatively soon):

AEM EMS for complete tunability w/GM IAT and 3 Bar MAP (AEM or GM).
Water/Alky Injection full time, boost referenced and tuned accordingly.
AFM Delete in favor of a better intake tract.

I figure by cooling the intake charge via the Methanol, the boost should hold on a little longer. I'm curious to see how much farther I can push the Ct26..........

There's a dyno shop here in IL about 15 minutes from me that is reasonably priced that I will be frequenting.

Thoughts? I'm sticking with the stock injectors for now as the meth injection will be partially like an added fuel also as well as a cooling tool.

recirc your HKS and the backfiring will go away

sounds like a lot of money to spend for some minor problems, but you are a grown man so ill let you make your own decisions. however you are going to throw a couple g's at the car, and at the end of the day, the drive home is going to be hardly different.
