Default What are you using in your alky kits?

Putting an alky kit on and just wanted to know what everyone is using in their kits. Where are you getting it from?

What are the benfits of running straight meth over 50/50 meth/water? I don't remember which but I was always told that water either helps fight detonation or reduce intake temps.

Not bad bang for the buck, but I prefer a higher psi pump. 100+ minimum, most the good ones are 140-150 psi which gives much better atomization than this units 60 psi.

See i thought that too, but I was assured that was all i would need. I have a pressure gauge and my system runs around 140 psi. I was told the system gets its pressure from the small hose and the nozzles restriction size. I could upgrade to the bigger pump for 20 bux Its on there site and they told me it was a waist of money. They just offered it because eveyone things bigger is better.

See I already had an alky kit. I just was not sure if i should switch. I am glade i did. I can tell you 1 thing. Somethign the owner told me. The 100 and 150 psi pumps the other companys are selling are acutally 60psi pumps with the pressure switch modded. Something about the motor size was the same size as his and sureflow only makes that pump in 60psi. So he things the other companys are doing some switcher ro. I just asked him all about this because I had 2 pumps that looked identical to me one from him and one from my orginal alky kit.
