Default Repurpose Alky Control System CTS-V LSA

Hello,

I have a stock 2009 Cadillac CTS-V. As you can see in my signature I used to own an 05 C6 Corvette that I added a H/C/M112 Supercharger setup to. I had an alky control single nozzle meth kit. I purchased the system circa 2012. Since, I have been on the website and I noticed they have MAP and MAF based kits. I understand the difference between the two but I don't honestly understand the ideal way to setup one nor which setup is ideal for my application. Before I sold the Vette I demoded it, and removed the kit. I recently found myself with a lot of spare time thanks to the NY COVID-19 shutdown so I started thumbing through my parts boxes. I have the complete MAP based single nozzle kit sitting in my garage. I have no mods on the car yet, however I have a NW102 sitting around and I plan to purchase an air intake, and tune it. I thought this would be a nice addition since its here and I am not using it. I just want to make sure it will work purposefully with my current application. Hopefully there are some guys on her with CTS-v that can chine in, in regard to which kit is preferred, and also what the differences between the corvette kit and the V kit are. Curious as to if most of you guys are running the MAF kits or the MAP kits.

Thanks,
Dan

They all basically function the same way. The map vs. maf is just different ways to trigger the system and in the case of Alky Control, set how progressive it is. It'll work fine on your setup.

I figured it would since it worked well on the Magnuson... I just wanted to see if there were any benefits to the MAF setup. I'm assuming basically the map sensor turns on the meth at some point and it dribbles out until full boost, then its spraying like a fire hose? I'm going to install it and tune for it and see what happens, should give me a little extension on my injectors as well

It doesn't dribble out but you have the general idea. I'm running a modified alky control kit myself and its working really well.

A suggestion to the OP.
Send the pump back to Julio, for a rebuild.

I'm actually going to buy a new one. I ran 100% meth through it and it's been sitting for over a year. Not even going to mess with it.

thanks

Send it back, anyway. Keep a spare, and use it to change out as needed.
Julio's test kit is a good buy, too. Keep an eye on the pump performance.
