I recommend getting a SCT Chip.....I have 4 tunes on my chip.....you are going to want to be able to switch from the Meth tune to normal pump gas tune, just in case you ever run out of the Meth...of course I never run out so I never really take my switch off the Meth tune. Tuner can adjust for 87 octane, 93 octane, Meth..no Meth etc...

What kind of numbers are you expecting from methalnol injection and what size shot are you running and how much did you pay for it.

I have been wondering about methanol alot My buddy's dodge 2500 deisel has it and he is pushing 450 hp with 850 torque. He claims that it lowers the combustion temp by almost 200 degrees.

I got another 60 horse when I added Meth to my set up. You basically gain horsepower because you are able to run more timing due to the cooler intake temp and the increased octane level.

11 pounds....the actual number is 56 more horse...but the real benefit is no Detonation...I am running the Anderson Motorsports Mr. Freeze...it runs on boost/vacuum and not electronics like the Snow Kit.

Default RE: water/meth injection

i mean if u look at it in a way it would be somthing like a 50shot but in the same way it isnt anything like it....when compressing air in a Centrifical SC or turbo without an intercooling system your just forcing hot air into the motor ..hot air means - power....your gains are minimal....a water/ meth kit is a chemical intercooling systemthat you can have it run off an adjustable boost controller or a boost/vac line...and u set for the chemicals to be spray at whatever boost level you want to hit....the meth will increase your octane levels as the water will cool the compressed air and evaporate before it reaches the cylinders..allowing you to get the most possible gains out of your boost...

Default RE: water/meth injection

see i have a old school Paxton SN2000 it is ball driven inside unlike the newer blowers that are gear...and i just recently put on a smaller pulley to give me more boost...but the negetive side is that this is also spinning my internals a little faster and there for heating up the self-contained oil cooking the air as it comes in...so this is where a snow kit or any other brand of water/meth would come into play...it I were to run custom pipes for an air- air intercooler all of those bends in the pipes will actually make me loose boost and so would i if i went with a air-water aftercooler.......the more bends in a pipe the more the air is going to slow down....so im choosing to go with a water/meth intercooler
