Default Who's running meth

Looking for some inside info on running meth and the kits available. I'll probably make my own tank just need the pump and other small supporting stuff.

I made my own using a ShurFlo pump and some misting nozzles from McMaster Car. I used a Hobbs type switch to fire the pump through a relay. I also used a solenoid inline with the pump for safety. If the pump did not turn off, the solenoid would block the alky flow.

Easy to make, but take a look at Snow Performance's Stage 1 Boost Cooler.

SMC kits are great they have a 2 gallon tank that is super easy to mount and the progressive controller is super easy to calibrate, all you need is 12v poer and a ground the harness comes pre built.

I have a stock windshield washer tank if you wanna buy it. I put a Alky Control kit in and it came with a new tank that took the place of my old windshield washer tank so I have a spare now.

I use the Coolingmist progressive kit, they have their own 1.5 gallon tank with a low fluid float and sensor. They have an assortment of smaller tanks I just chose this one. Their pump was designed for straight meth, and the kit incorporates a lot of safeguards

With that AFM kit, it says to mount the jet in the intake tube and spray the jet directly at the impeller of the supercharger or turbo. Is that safe? That seems like a bad idea. Why is that location any better than spraying the jet in the cold pipe after the turbo or supercharger? That was on a non-intercooled car. I mounted my jet in the elbow about 8 inches before it enters the TB.

I would shoot it 6 to 8 inches before the tb. In case of condensation fallout. This happens depending on how aggressive you are with it, and how you arrange your jets ECT. I would not want any drops hitting my impeller at speed.

Devilsown makes a good kit. Take a look at there website it should give a decent amount of info you my need. I just have now recently got into alky injection and man it make a big diffrence. Cools the intake charge and allows you to be more aggressive with timing. You will like it I promise.

The owner is a really good guy that will go out of his way to help you out.

Ok running it before the turbo is the best for gains. having meth going thru the blower or turbo being compressed will freeze the intake charge. will be simalar to the draw thru turbo setups and blown fuel cars. on my dads old draw thru turbo set up on 95 deg. days there would be frost on the intake pipes and we ran no I/C so it works .

I run a dual nozzle alky control kit from Julio installed by OC Corvette. Does it work? Well, the car spins the damn tires all over the place and scares the **** out of me when it does hook, so I guess it does.

Alky control has been the best kit we've used.
