I thought it goes without saying that you'd need some kind of engine management to run meth. You do realize that he could run meth without running higher boost right? If done properly and monitored well, it will decrease the chance that problems could develop sooner as opposed to much later. It will give you a lot of leeway too during the winter months when the air gets colder and denser and the gas gets crappier.
I too have done all the upgrades to my (previous) vehicle, and I would strongly recommend against using just an S-AFC to tune your car. I know costs can rise quickly when you're undertaking something like this, but don't cut corners and use a second-rate EM like those DSM boys like to do =P
That Supra guy at the last car show was using an S-AFC to tune his car and I wanted to kick him in the teeth. I know, I know...the Supra engine is very stout, but in my opinion the only reason why his hasn't exploded yet is because he's running meth 24/7. That guy is probably leaving like 50-60whp and who knows how much safety margin on the table by not using a decent EM.
