Yeah I've heard good things about that kit. I have the alcohol injection systems trunk mount. I opted out of the progressive controller option cause tech told me unless I was going over 12-15 psi there was no need for it. Wish I had gotten it now ha. Didn't know if get so greedy with boost. But I love my kit mainly because of the huge 3 gallon tank lol. Last forever.

I always liked progressive because it is not an on/off switch. You don't just dump it all in at once and have a definitive line. It gradually comes in. I would start them coming in around 5 psi and be at full tilt by 12-14 psi. That way you don't have a cliff in your fueling you have to tune around. You can ease into it and have a more gradual smooth transition that starts pulling heat out before you are at full boost. Just personal preference.

Split the pipe in center to get the shape maybe? Couldn't you do that on a press? Or are you slightly reducing the size of the pipe to match up clean with the divided flange?

Ya exactly why I want this. Meth scares me enough so a progressive system is more what I'd feel comfortable with rather than dumping gallons in my intake lol

Lol you know what I meant. With the octane and added fuel of the meth and iat so low I would think there be very little if any at my level. I know what you mean though. By the way AFR was 10.2 at 14psi tonight. Meth really drops it.

I want to paint my engine bay so bad, but the engine is in the car so it will have to wait.

Looks good!
