They use essentially the same pump now that all of the other good kits I've seen use. They used to be all about injecting 100% water, but then kind of accepted the fact that there are a lot of good results from adding methanol or isopropyl alcohol to the mixture.

Aquamist really hasn't embraced the idea of 100% methanol though because of the heat absorbing qualities of water in the combustion chamber. Basically they want people to use about 50% methanol or less, and just inject more of it if you want a lot of methanol going through the system.

Aquamist or Alky Control are the best IMO.

bump

In the market for a kit

Trying to choose between:
Aquamist
AlkyControl
Devil's Own

My reluctance on just getting the Aquamist is that freaking price tag...
AlkyControl seems like the go-between
Devil's Own seems like a good quality kit for the $ from the research I've done

Plus I like the fact that Julio appears to know what he's talking about

hate to be flamed for a bump, but better than posting a new thread. Im green as well on this topic and was just wondering what the consumption rate of a meth injection system is? I mean does it burn through the meth/water solution like its going out of style or does it last a substantial amount of time between meth tank fill ups?

Your consumption is based on HP(airflow) and boost. If your in boost spraying then your consuming. Driving around town normally=zero consumption.

1 gallon can last 5 minutes or 3 weeks.

A 5 gallon drum lasts me all year. Like Julio said, the only time you use it is when your in boost.

I was ais but wouldn't use anyone other than alkycontrol now. Dave "DSX Tuning" and Julio just set me up with a great progressive controller that uses a ls7 maf to activate it.

Is there anyone out there that i can buy just the control boxes for?

I had an STS kit with the methenol injection kit and since then, i have went to a front mount and have gotten rid of all the STS wiring. I have the pump tank, lines and nozzle, so is there anyone that makes just the brain boxes i can buy?

kinda bringin this thread out of the grave, but i really like this kit:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/261190031141?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
The truck mounted cell with intergrated pump is very nice. Does anyone have any experience with this kit? I will be buying a meth injection kit soon, like next month, so i figured i would ask. thanks
