Another vote of Alky Control. It's worth the price.

I did a bit more digging and found that Devils Own, Snow and Alky Control all say you can run 100% meth with their systems. Only AEM is rated for only 50% meth.

Devils Own, "Components are engineered to withstand 100% mixtures for normal expected life of product"
Snow, "all components of Snow Performance systems are designed to be able to handle pure methanol"
Alky Control, "A progressive system designed once again for 100% methanol"

If I'm shooting for slightly less than 600rwhp and 10psi boost, are all the kits below compatible?
What's the difference between a Devils Own 5151 and 5106?
What's the difference between a Snow 20010 and 20012?

Devils Own 5151 LS1-7 Stage 2 (progressive)
$400

Devils Own 5106 DVC-30 Stage 2 (progressive)

Snow 20010 Stage 2 Corvette Boost Cooler (progressive)

does the Alky have any other features the other brands don't?

I am not sure about the other brands but the Alky control kit has a progressive controller with two points of adjustment/test button, low meth reservior light, and pump activation light that changes from red to green during the activation. Plus as mentioned it comes with all SS braided lines and a custom windshield washer reservior that replaces your stock set-up. You also have the option to use a stand alone tank if you have to have your wiper fluid. It is also fairly easy to set-up and maintain.

I ve got a snow hit in my dodge ram. The controller bites. The numbers mean nothing, and I cant imagine try to mount the thing inside. I have it in the engine compartment. I ve run straight water to straight meth.

I ve run devils in lots of stuff. I ve run 100 % for testing, buthave always settled on 50/50. You get better cooling from water.......so unless you need the fuel, and are out of injector, then 50/50 or even straight water id best. There is a thread on here somewhere, that a guy did on here on his engine dyno.....straight water won with the right tune.

Alcohol Injection Systems. Their tank design is far better than any other kit out there.

As for pumps etc etc. They all use the same Shurflo based pump. So there really wont be much difference.

I recently got an AIS system, I built my own tank though, but it seems to be working great so far and great customer service. I tried calling Devil's Own about 10 times over 3 weeks and never got an answer.
