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

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.

For the love of god people, I'm not going to push the Ct26 any farther than I already have, which is the 16 PSI we set it for on the dyno, that it made and held. I simply want to knock the standalone out first as I view it as the cornerstone of future mods (fuel system, bigger turbo, cams, ported head, larger displacement). You can't reliable and accurately do ANY of that without a competent way to tune the car, which the standalone will provide.

All I'm going to do in conjunction with the standalone is add some enhancements to try to maximize the potential of the setup that I already have, that being the CT26.

Sit down and think about it. You have a motor with a stock computer, and some piggyback stuff, and want to throw a bigger turbo on it? Sure, you can tweak it to where it runs good, but there are limitations on tuning ability and what you can and can't do. The foundation of ANY high performance engine is going to be the ability to completely and accurately tune that motor.
