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.

For the love of god people, I'm not going to push the Ct26 any farther than I already have,

I said that wrong initially. I'm not planning on pushing more boost, just at a tweak and tune point to see how much extra power I can get with the right stuff working things. My reference to noting that the car was holding 18-20 PSI in good cold weather was that there's no reason why without the correct setup and a cool enough charge that it shouldn't hold a consistent 16 PSI without trailing off.

Art, the CT20b crossed my mind, but correct me if I'm wrong, wouldn't I need a new manifold (different flange?)??? The other thing I've heard of is that the 20 has a ceramic turbine and not a metal one.........causing it to be prone to breakage. Is this a true statement or am I mixing it up with something else?
