Default Water/Meth Which system?

Been looking at Snow Performance and Labonte. Both have a stage 3 kit, the big difference for me is the Labonte has a higher pressure pump and is cheaper it seems. I have heard mostly good things about both. I am leaning towards the Labonte because of the pump pressure and quaility of the pump so im told. Who out there is running either of these systems? and which would you recommend ?

I've never gone more than a few hours without getting an email back from Cooling Mist answering my question.


I've never heard of Labonte either, their pump almost looks like it may possibly be something different than the rebadged Shurflo's everybody else sells though. Their solenoids look nice too.

I'm not fond of any system that varies water metering through PWM'ing the pump. It's better to use multiple solenoids for multiple stages.

I would go with Labonte, we sell both and like the Labonte better. Everything thing that you like about the Snow, you will like better with the labonte system.

Let me know if i can help. We currently have a sale on Labonte.

Thanks Tyler

We have installed 25+ snow kits both stage II and III on customer trucks. Never had one single issue. Snow's customer service is hard to beat.
Edit: It looks like the controller for both the labonte and snow are identical, so they MAY be made by the same company and relabeled.

The owner of Labonte used to be the lead engineer at Snow. Labonte comes with a better pump, and a few other minor differences.

Thanks for the replies . Most guys I talked to said go with the higher PSI pump. I don't really need the extra fuel from the meth just the cooling. In level 5and 6 getting some high EGT's if I keep the hammer down. So I'm hoping this would help out. Probably going to buy distilled water and mix my own cocktails .
