Question snow performance methanol injection stage 1 or 2??

i tried the search, but couldnt find the info i was looking for

i was just wondering if a stage 1 snow kit would be good for my application or should i go with a stage 2, i dont want to dish out the extra 150 bucks if i dont need to

im gonna be running a single t-61 turbo pushing 7-9psi. it will be on my basically stock 01 z28 it will have an air to air intercooler as well

im ready to buy, just need to know what one to get

thanks in advance

Whats the difference? I have a snow performance meth injection kit, and I swear by it, but I have no idea what stage it is.

* What are the benefits of Water/Methanol injection? Boost CoolerŽ Benefits (Gasoline):

1. Low cost - where else can you get up to 60HP for $299.

2. More power than other means of detonation control.

3. Efficiency - leaner air fuel ratio can be utilized for normal operation.

4. Greatly increases air charge densities for huge horsepower increases


STAGE 2

* This allows maximum power at all RPM/boost levels as just the right amount is injected at all times.
* Features include adjustments for onset boost level and full quantity boost level. (See Variable Controller in “products” for a full list of benefits).
* Note: The variable controller replaces the boost pressure switch and relay included in the stage-1 kit.

i just dont know if i need that for my application, or if its directed towards higher boost and built motor applications..

its just the features in the kit. I own a stage 2, thats what i would get. IIRC, it has a bigger pump and the progressive controller, etc. Stage 2 is what you want. Hope this helps!

Summit racing has it listed as stage 1 for up to 15 psi and stage 2 for over 15 psi.

Alright, now that I know the difference I have the stage 2 as well. I'm not sure the stage 2 will be anything really over the stage 1 for the original poster. The stage two has the 2nd nozzle for higher boost applications, and then the controller box to progressivly spray more meth as the boost increases. Probably not much to have a spread over when you are only talking 7-9 psi.

Of coarse none of this matters anyways since he already bought the stage 2

FWIW, here's my controller and my settings. The first hit of meth comes on at like 5#'s, and then the next hit comes in at 10#'s.
