I would also look into a fuel pump swap. For a short time CT sold a high-boost upgrade kit for their CTSC. IIRC it had 330 Honda Injectors among other things. Not ideal but they did sell it for a while.I think you need:
1. larger injectors
2. AEM
3. Smaller Pulley
You also remove parts of the low boost kit if you are going AEM.
You don't HAVE to use AEM. Many high-boost don't, but I would.
I'll be going with meth/water to cool down the IATs during hot long sessions in lieu of an aftercooler. I do not expect to gain any power. I'm simply trying to ward off the affects of heatsoak. Aside from the cost the issue I have with the aftecooler (i.e. Laminova, Driving Ambition, etc) is that they cool the air charge all the time. You can't just install one on a stock CTSC low boost kit...well, you can but you probably shouldn't. I'd want to run an EMS or FIC if I went with a aftercooler setup so the EMS can keep tabs on the timing.From my observation from reading various threads on prime, it seems like for sc cars with similar boost, cars with meth injection make slightly more hp than cars with aftercoolers. Is it a correct statement or am I just talking out of my azz?
Meth has the effect of increasing octane and can richen the mixture by .5-1 point on the AFR (ymmv). You can theoritically tune for this and run more timing, boost or what not but if your tune depends on this then when you run out of the mix, your EMS better have the ability to switch to a different "safe" map.
If you run meth on the stock CTSC tune I believe the goal is to not cool down the charge too much or you will start to knock due to the stock timing. There's a thread I started on this. I'm hoping to put some of those theories to practical use this year.
Here's an old article on water injection on a CTSC. It's tuned by Jon who's one of the most well respected tuners around.
