Thinking about getting a aem meth kit but I want to know if I need a special tune or if I can just hook it up and go? I have a cold air intake a full tbe exhaust and Cobb ap stage 2 tune. And should I get any other mods before I get a meth kit? Or am I fine with what I have? Any input is great as to what I should do

You will want to get it tuned. I suppose you may be able to run the smallest nozzle without any danger of harming your engine. But you will not see any power gains until it's tuned.

A tune is always recommended with added mods on these cars.
Meth is a fuel, so if you install it and drive it w/o a tune you will be running rich on WOT. If your too rich, you'll get bore wash & murder your motor slowly. The tune is needed to adjust your fuel trims to make it a tad leaner (since you can w/ meth) & increase boost to make more power. It burns hotter thus, creating mad torque & spool. A tune tells the ecu how to compensate for the meth & make it work with your car, not against it. |

Meth is awesome for people who don't have access to higher octane fuels. You have to be careful when tuned for it to not run out during a pull, but as long as you are mindful of how much you have in the tank, it makes for a great way to safely increase power.
