No, that kit only provides a boost to the octane, in order to prevent detonation and engine damage. The hp add comes from more boost and more fuel.

Yes. Precisely correct.

Again, 100% correct. The meth kit needs to be tuned, the air/fuel needs to be tuned, etc. Basically every time the vehicle is modified, it needs to be re-tuned.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
