Race gas. Unless you do direct injection nitrous style with the meth it will almost undoubtedly feed unevenly in the cylinders because of the way our manifolds are.

i see meth injection as another variable to go wrong.

what sovietday said makes a whole lotta sense also.

I'd also opt for the race gas. If you were hardly pushing it on pump gas and wanted a little more leeway, i'd say go for the meth injection, but for your situation, race gas is really the only good option. Do you have E85 in your area?? That'd be a cheap alternative to Race Gas...

E85 is a great option if its available. At the 500whp level, you would need to be sure you have enough injector, fuel pump and fuel line capacity. E85 uses about 1/3 more volume so it would require capacity similar to running 750whp on gas.
