upgraded SMIC or stock SMIC with water/meth

[dizuster]

Kind of a intresting idea, cost for both of these upgrades is about the same, so which would be better? I am planning on either the upgraded SMIC, or running a dual MBC one boost setting for driving, the other to arm the water/meth and higher boost setting. My over all plans are to keep the 16g evo3, I'm gonna get 660's just so I don't have to worry about the fuel situation with a 190 pump. I have no other plans for this car. It may see the strip a few times, but honestly I have other cars that I drag race ('65 plymouth belvedere, and '72 duster on the way), so this i just my daily driver. I really don't need to push the limits of boost too much because I need it to be tuned for safety all of the time since this is my daily driver. I'm hoping that with an upgraded SMIC or water/meth stock SMIC I can push maybe 18psi~20 on 93 pump gas? Can anyone justify going with one or the other?

Seems like the stock SMIC with the Water/meth would make more over all power the the upgraded SMIC. SAFC could have 2 tuning set ups for each situation. Am I crazy or does anyone else think this might be a good idea?


Thanks

your goign to need to upgrade the sidemount with that set up. The stock side mount with that set up is great idea nad very effective its just that with upgraded turbo u are going to need a bigger ic.

You're better off getting a Supra Side Mount IC. It's a PITA to get mounted properly, but overall worth the trouble.

Just make sure you don't use PVC pipe for a LICP (like me)
Anyway
SSMIC will blow out a stock, even meth/water
About a 150 dollars MAX for a SSMIC.

You don't upgrade your intercooler just for coooling...FLOW also has a big part in it.

The Supra IC will flow alot better than the stock SMIC.
