Going to push a different direction with our car for now Options

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.

I will not be upgrading the turbo first as I want complete engine control above all. I'm above the mindset of tuning capability above all else at this point.

I still feel that with a more accurate tuning ability and a shot of meth with a little additional timing (as allowed by the meth) a decent gain can be seen at the 16 PSI level I'm sittin gat right now. I never said I was going to push the CT26 to 18-20 PSI, only noted that with good air it will hit and hold it as I found out last winter in Jersey. How close to that good air I can get will make that 16 PSI I have it set for that much more efficient.

Once this little endeavour is done, then I'll move to a bigger turbo, injectors, rail, and peripherals.
