strong enough?

Your dosage is probably too small to register, plus i am assuming you are getting piss tested which is notoriously inaccurate. It will show up as amphetamine in a hair folicle test or mouth swab if you ingested close to the time of the test.
Rule of thumb for drug test on a stim is if your buzzing you will test positive if your not you won't. But thats another subject entirely.
Just thought I should mention for the parolees or truckies thinking about trying it aboive the recommended dose.
As I understand it, ASADA's testing profile specifically includes DMAA and analogous substances. It doesn't get picked up by the amphetamine test. In fact, when the first athletes that received suspensions for DMAA use, DMAA was not specifically banned by WADA. Tuaminoheptane, which is a nasal decongestant and a strong stimulant, was banned alonger with anything chemically similar. DMAA was being picked up in athlete tests as a substance chemically analogous to tuaminoheptane.
After preworkout supps containing DMAA started getting popular in about 2009, WADA then moved to include DMAA on the prohibited list.
Urine tests done by ASADA will detect DMAA at extremely small amounts. So small that use of out-of-comp (the day before) have been detected during in-comp tests. DMAA is only banned by WADA in-comp, but tested athletes are warned against using DMAA at all in case residue remains during in-comp testing.
One example was an INBA bodybuilder who got caught with DMAA on comp-day - I can't think of any reason why on earth he was using a pre-workout supp on comp day and query whether stimulants have any performance-enhancing effect on comp day in a "sport" where you are judged on performance and not athletic performance, but thats another story.
I also dispute that piss testing is less accurate than hair testing. Residue potentially stays in hair longer, but there's a reason why WADA does blood and urine only, and not hair testing. Of course you've also got the Ben Cousins strategy available to cheat hair testing - shave off all your hair.
