Will the pump produce enough pressure? I thought meth pumps were high pressure. The pump I got with my kit looks beefy. 300 psi

Ya I bought the snow kit. I priced matched it , then had a $210 gift certificate from jegs. The only thing is with a whipple, they said on @8lbs all in @11lbs . Not sure how good it's going to work. I'll have to play with it.

Yes it is. I have it so I don't need to take the speaker panel off to fill it. Just unscrew the cap and go. Works great.

RB Racing RSR has a system that is 1000 psi with their own pump. It looks like it is 2x smaller than the pumps everyone else runs and doesn't have anywhere near the electric load of the other ssystems which all seem to run the aquatec 5800 pumps (http://www.jondon.com/pump-12volt-dc...ton-seals.html) . they are motorcycle guys but there is a lot of good tech and trials/tribulations they went through to get to where they are.

Alky Control here, have yet to install it, but everything looks very high quality and have heard nothing but good about the product and Julio's support.

Had 2 older snow controllers go bad on me.

Devils own 3 bar MAP based still rocking after several years and about 30 gals of alcohol run through it. Set to kick on with 1psi boost and ramps to 100% around 22psi. Zero failsafes other than ECU pulling 6* and adding 25% fuel in case of knock. Far from ideal setup but I was trying to blow that motor up.

Really depends on how fancy you want it and $$$. Seen some badass high dollar kits and some piecework setups like mine.
