Default Water Methanol or Propane injection

I have been looking into water methanol and propane injection and i dont quite get it. My questions are, Which one is better in the long run? And Where does it inject the mixture? Any input would be great i am still doin some research and tryin to find out on my end. Thanks fellas

i would say water/ meth. because with propane it's more for extra power but could turn up you EGT's. with water meth you will get more power. it will actually drop your EGT's. with water/meth it is injected directly into the air strem via intake y pipe. (after the turbo and intercooler.) with propane i'm not exactly sure where it goes in at. the nice thing about water/ meth. it will actually clean your combution chamber. for more information, go to Snow Performance: Home

Check out cooling mist...

I prefer water injection over propane, no timing changes with just water injection.

i would also say water/meth bc u will get more power depending on the mix, but it will also lower egts and clean your enginehttps://www.dieselbombers.com/images/smilies/tu.gif

so if the resovoir runs low, what happens? I would guess it would be fine, right? it would just run as if i haden't installed it?

i would recomend a large resovoir, snow performance has a 7 gallon. that way you don't have to check it all the time.

Where do you mount the resovoir? i would think the engine compartment right? is that where everyone else puts theirs?

if you go with the smaller one. you might be able to. i'm not sure where you would though... if you get a bigger one. it would have to go in the bed.

i would say snow. last year at truck fest i was talking to them. the staff is very knowledgeable and can help you with any question you might have. i haven't even heard of AEM. and snow has 3 different stages to best suit your needs.
