i found out it is very trickey to get it set right i would say that you would need a dyno on hand when setting the system up to see were your gains would be on the settings. As a matter of fact i still dont have mine figured out but i got it set to were the motor sounds like it not gettin to munch to quick. o well

If your going to ask Kenny, he is working 2nd shift this week, so you'll need to call him before 1:00. Good luck, I would like to put some on my truck eventually

I'd get the Snow performance kit with the big ol 7 gallon tank so you don't have to worry about it emptying itself on a couple hard runs or something, buddy of mine had it on his dmax and would go through a windshield washer reservoir in 2 1/4 mile passes

Make your own kit, DM, and you will be happy. Remember methanol/water mix the more water the more cooling. So you can batch up your own mixture (here a 55 gallon 99+% pure methanol delivered to my garage is only $130.00)- and if towing use more water ratio. I would use even straight water if egt's are too high. But for power - the chemical sites say that methanol/water miscibility burn ratio is best at 65/meth 35/water for power. Above that is wasting meth. I would think a 2 stage system ran with 2 selenoids first one small jet for mileage set at 1 lb boost and second set larger jet set at 7lbs boost for more power when needed. You would get mileage and power that way. PM me if you want help with the kit.
