head studs..... or you can pop one like I did, with a new turbo...
ive been running water/meth 50/50 and an aurora 3000 getting 45psi of boost with no head studs and no problems.not saying that i wont but so far so good.dont quote me on this but i think the aurora 3000 flows 10 ppm more than a super b and 4 ppm less than a super b special,and costs just a little over $1200 with a 3 year 150,000 mile warranty.

A BD Super B shouldn't pop a gasket with the injectors you have now. Keeping that turbo under 40lbs and not pushing the boost until you're up to operating temps should be just fine.

I was right at that magic 50 number.... without the TST stack it wastgates at 35, once I got home... I hit the TST and there was no stopping it from shooting the boost so high. Oh well... just gonna get a marine gasket, headstuds, and have some head work grinding done. but it aint cheap!!!!
What's the maintenance like with water methanol? are you always filling it up and what not?

ya,i run two 6gpm nozzles and i dont turn it on much cause i hate filling it all of the time.it doesnt seem to give ya that much more power,but it is noticable and it lowers my egts 50-100 or so.i only turn it on when somebody wants to race.i really put it on for a boost cooler when i had a stock turbo but with the new turbo i rarely use it.

On a 35/40? Drive pressure killed your head gasket for sure.
i would go with the turbo i am running the super b and when i had 100 horse jammers i had a smarty stacked i couldn't break 1250 egt towing a 1 ton chevy on 40's on a trailer and trust me when i got my super b i tested it my egts did not get high until i got my ddp 200 horse sticks now i just leave my programer and can tow great but when i turn it up with now trailer haha look out i am running 12.9 at 103 when using my water meth my egts get to about 1500 with the injectors but i have not poped a head gasket or a turbo just keep beating it my opion would be the super be first
wow those are good times,and your getting those with 200hp sticks and a smarty???and are you talking about a super b or a super b special????have you ever put it on the rollers?you should fill out your sig so everyone knows what your running.
ya sorry about that my brother messed with it i dont actually run my smarty anymore the hot juice runs alot better its just a super b if you want to see it run go under the new jersey page and click on another atco night 4/18 i put it on the rollers with the old 100 horse jammers it only put down 360/777 should be running it soon with the new sticks hoping for 500

1300 would be laying into it for a good while for me... I rarely see over 1100 without the TST on..... and that's putting the metal to the peddle and the thingy to the floor.
