More for egts at WOT... I can throw a lot of fuel... and I really need a cam.
The new turbos are just incredible... I hit 85 psi yesterday and scared the heck out of my son and me when the boost gauge line blew out inside the cab...

I am in the process of building a fuel tank for the bed. From the front of the bed to 30" back is going to be fuel, the remaining 6" of the tank is going to be for water/meth so from the front to the rear is a total of 36". Going to be as wide as the bed, go over the cross pipes for the stacks and be bed height with diamond plate top. Should be about 120 or so gallons of fuel and about 25-30 gallons of water/meth for the stage 3 snow kit! I so can't wait. Will take pics as I go along.

As we were installing the 7 gal tank for the Snow system, and really there is no "good" place for it, we thought of doing exactly as you describe, except that the one for my truck would have to be "squatty" to fit under the box that houses the roll-up tonnau cover. I have a PE jackrabbit. So I would need a "mini" version of what you are doing... as long as you are making one, maybe two??

That's funny under the great minds think alike file.

To get the max mpg benefit, you have to run 50/50 mix. Meth is more $$$ than diesel... the one place I found local to me wants $37 for 5 gal. Ouch...

Oh yeah... there's really not much to take a picture of as it is pretty much all hidden... you can see some red hoses going to the intake horn and the little controller in the cab... nothing exciting.

I guess I won't know for a while because I don't drive the ol girl as much now... But I suppose under normal circumstances and a close to 50/50 mix... about 1200 miles.
