Its a progressive controller based off boost level. $350-500 is definitely worth the price because theyre usually very well put together and they are a good backup. You can buy a cheap kit with no level sensor, warning lights, anything like that, and if you run out or it fails, you will probably kiss your engine goodbye.

Besides, you pay $500 for a meth kit, and its like running 100-105 octane all day long, and not paying $5/gallon.

I bought an Alky control kit for mine. Pump/lines/resevoir/nozzle/adj. controller. Really nice kit. Still tuning on it right now, but think we ran out of injector... 877rwhp so far

Which are the best kits to buy, both in quality, actual performance of the kit and which have warning lights that come on if the pump stops running or the tank is starting to go dry?

I have a snow performance kit that I haven't got around to installing, but its either them or Alky control kits.

You can tune for that if you lose the colder IAT's. Place the nozzle before the IAT sensor then you can take advantage of that information in the timing tables.

alky control has a dual LED that red for power, green when spraying meth and a warning indicator for low methanol. Bought mine from EPP. Bob will answer any question you have.
