You can run 10 psi with out meth if your tune is spot on. Meth would help alot though. Colder air temps are always better!!

I run the cooling mist kit and love it. Controler is very tuneable and can set it up easily. Takes about an hour to install the kit.

Alky control here. I liked the tank. Right up front, easy to fill, and looks clean. A little pricey compared to snow or other brands, but it does what I need for now.

Not sure if they are a sponsor or not, but lsx solutions has the best price i've seen on the alky control kit.

Have a snow kit, use the stock windshield washer tank for the fluid, works great. Pretty sure most kits are progressive in one way or another. I have mine start spraying at 4psi and at 100% spray at 10psi of boost (thru the 16psi it sees)

There are 100 what-meth-kit threads that point to Alkycontrol, and it's the brand that I recommend to all of my customers. This just isn't a place to save a few bucks.
