My unrefined guess is that the power and mpg gain is due to a combination of "Intergalactic Ju-Ju" and FM*. Not necessarily in the same order.

my top end went from 145 to 156. Confirmed with a GPS.

Before I would hit 135 and it would slowly crawl to 145.

Now I hit 145 and crawl to 156

That's because you are back to the OE rev limit instead of the Int-X rev limit.

Amongst others, yes.

You didn't say that before. You said you gained power by switching to the flash.
Obviously methanol is going to give you more power with the blower on the top end (where your top speed is) because the temps coming out of the blower at those RPMs could roast a pig!

I have also experienced the wall at 130+, but I didn't continue to push it. Why does this occur BTW??

I did gain some power from the Flash. Had the flash for about 3 weeks before I added the meth.

Roast Pig Yum!

Yeah. At high blower RPMs, you are way out of the efficiency band and the A/W intercooler will load up after only a few seconds.
The meth cools even more effectively at higher RPMs.
Just think how well it would work if you had it plumbed into the right part of the intake!

I just realized that I used 10% ethanol blended fuel for my dyno test. I normally use Hess gasoline on my cars and after a quick web research I found out that 10% ethanol blended fuels produce 25 to 35 percent less energy than regular unleaded fuel per gallon.

BYE BYE Yes. Did he run and hide? Usually they turn off the road and you never see them again.

-----------------------The sound of silence and "how fast can we get out of here". Usually if they are bashers that will shut them up. I love the "Thats an auto?" or do you want a head start since your auto? I always thought the sound would alert them but most of the basher type would not know a s/c sound from a fart. A least when I get beat I want to know what beat me (yes I do get beat but they all comment about an auto being that fast). On the track of course

until we got to the location I was shifting at 3k to avoid being noticed. He did say even modded 8s were slow. I wanted to catch him completely off guard.

Deceptive aren't we. lol I prefer they know what's there and then they see the result. So many bashers out there that have no clue. I try to represent the average 8 a/t.
