Default Questions on Snow Methanol Inj. Kit

I’ve been looking at methanol injection kits (Snow, Alchycontrol and SMC). All seem to have their good points and bad points. Right now the Snow kit seems to come out on top, from the standpoint of price, ease of installation, kit components, etc. I like the progressive control, shurflo pump, etc. What I don’t like is the use of nylon (non-braided steel) lines. For you guys that are using the kit, is this an issue? How do you like your kit? Would you have gone with the other kits now that you’ve installed the Snow kit? How hard was the install? How long did it take?

took me an afternoon, though mine was a custom install and i do not run the controller.

give matt a call and ask him about the lines, i have had no problems with mine and are easy to custom fit with a razor blade to whatever length you want.

I just picked up an alky control progressive kit. Juilo (the owner) couldn't be more helpful on the phone. Customer service gets an A+. I recieved most of the kit already and it looks pretty good.

Thanks i found it, now i am in doubt :-) Snow kit or Alcy kit :-)

I also use E-boost, so maybe i can get away with a custom kit without controller and tank ? just high pressure pump, lines , nozzle, wiring etc
