ok well i am going to b ordering the smc alky unit within the next week. How many wide open passes will i get before i have to refill the slky resevoir? and how much is it for the alky? another question i have is wil i be able to just turn off the kit and run without it at any given time that i want? i really want this kit because i dont want to spend 5 dollars a gallon for gas just so that my car isn't a dog on the street. it runs good on the street at 16 psi but man with 22 or higher i can only imagine how fast it would be.

You have many good performance upgrades on your car. There's plenty of information in this forum that covers just about every aspect of alcohol injection. I think it would be to your advantage do some reading here. 
The jump from 17psi to 21ish on the street was INSANE. My friends who weren't that familiar with the car said they could absolutely feel a huge difference. I was smiling ear to ear when...well...whenever I drive it.
I have my SMC at relatively low pump speed, and it comes on around 14 psi (kinda late). I have been running 1/8 milers all year, and I'd estimate that I'd probably get 25 passes no problem before my low alky light went off. When compared to race gas, and for a street driven car that sometimes sees the track, it's a no brainer on the $$$ front.
I wanted the easiest way to do it, so I thought the SMC was worth it. But I have to admit, now that I'm a little more experienced I might be inclined to take on the DIY kit. Either way though, it'll be the sickest, most bang for the buck mod you will do to your car. Good luck!
