Default 78 HP for only 299 dollars. True or total bull#hit.

I've seen this ad in my Mustang and Fast Fords magazine time and time again. Is this for real. The website is www.snowperformance.net. Any one out there who knows the real deal? If so this would no doubt be the best enhancement for the money. It has got to be too good to be true?

Also anyone out there what should be my next mod pullys or the electric water pump?

Hi Daniel,

I saw this ad too--and it's actually based on an article that Mustang and Fast Fords (I think others as well) ran about the Snow set up. They really do manage to get this gain, so strictly speaking no b.s. Of course, this was a gain they managed with a supercharger, and most definitely not with the water/meth injection system on an otherwise stock engine. (You run the s.c., use the Snow system to drastically reduce the detonation threshold, that allows you to use more boost/timing, eh wallah! +78hp gain. ) If you fish around Snow's website, you'll see that for non-boosted applications, the main uses for their system are for nitrous applications and for high-compression engines (allows you to survive on pump gas).

As for your second question, personally I plan to do both. But I have the "less money + easier install = do it first" mentality, so my vote is for the pulleys.

Best,
-j

The link will work if you take out the last dot (.) in the url www.snowperformance.net Looks like the methonol/water is used as a "cooler" , controls detonation etc. I think J's right only on s/c engines.
