However, if you get the cheapest kit out there, get 'bubba to install it in his driveway, and do no tuning...you can be pretty much guaranteed it won't be safe and your engine will get damaged even quicker because you'll be running more boost, assuming the meth kit will work. Make sense?
yeah i think the highest we have here is 92 at a bp, where would be the best bet to purchase a high quality kit? I have a great installer who I would use,

thanks

Here's an example of a good quality kit:

so would that kit be a decent way to add hp to my car? With it cooling down the air intake do you run more boost safely ? I've looked at those before for my motorcycle and bought the kit but never had it installed. I am very interested in that as i am looking to be safe when boosting. Thanks I am guessing the car would need to be tuned after thats installed?

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.
