Talking Kenne Bell BA XR8

Thankyou to Chris & Agro at Bluepower and Dave at CPV tuning in Mackay for transforming my stock as a rock BA XR8 4sp auto into something i look forward to driving. As others have said the after sale support is excellent.I had a custom 3" exhaust put on just before the Kenne Belle went on. Running 8 psi with the 31/2" pulley at the moment which managed 340 rwkw with not ideal conditions, but looking like stepping up to the 31/4 " pulley sometime early next year. I have the intercooled setup which helps with the temperatures up here in nth queensland. My goal is to run mid to high 11's at the moment but depending on cash flow next year if i get the motor built to suit. Went out to the drags on Friday night and with a small hicup at the start by not taking the special wheel socket : , we sacrificed 1 of Dave's sockets to get them off . Fitted 17" Mickey Thompson street radials to the rear end and we were right to go. temp was about 28 deg and around 80% humidity. On the first run I managed the best time of the night with a 12.27, we didnt get a mile hr reading though as that lane was not giving. The next run was 12.446 @ 113.4 mph and 60 foot of 1.886, and the 3rd run was a 12.3 at about the same mph. If I can work out how to cut and shut and post the video i will. Traction was unbelievable with the new set of Mickey t's. On the street I am running 245's and find it very hard to hook up all the way through first gear. I'm running the standard 3.46 rear end.
Chris what is your thoughts on water/methanol injection with this setup ?
Would it run cooler therfore being safer etc ?
Could you mod the gearbox to handle more power if I get the motor built?
Once again thanks to all.
