Water-Meth Plumbing
Here's a good way to add a water-meth nozzle if you are not using the intake sensors. The trick is to fabricate a fitting that will install into the 1/2" NPT sensor port:

I wired my KSB to a switch and lost the grid heaters in favor a spacer with water-meth nozzles a long time ago. I decided to install a 3rd nozzle in the aft sensor port in the manifold yesterday. It's a small nozzle (2gph), just to help the rear cylinders, but added as much difference in lowering EGT as the front 2 primary (5gph) nozzles did when I first installed the system a couple years ago: 100 degrees EGT drop.
Those back cylinders 5&6 need all the help they can get.

It would get up to ~1200 give or take, depending on load maybe a little more on a long, hard pull up one of these mountains. It was pretty close to "EGT safe" the way I had it tuned and the W/M, but I wanted a little more headroom for towing in the mountains. It only went to the high side of 1100 on a little test run hammering it up a hill I use for that purpose near here yesterday. I haven't towed with it yet, but I could hit 1200 unloaded on that hill before.

Don't know, never bought a kit. I have parts on two trucks from Devil's Own and Coolingmist. Pumps came from eBay. The 1st Gen has a Varicool controller from Coolingmist and the 3rd Gen uses a hobbes switch. The last thing I got off eBay was 25 feet of tubing for $5. The kits are generally way overpriced, IMHO. Coolingmist's controllers are insanely expensive. Snow is even worse.
