Ya why can't I run 100% now the seals won't take it or somethingThey work well and I know Nick Micale has used them. They work well for adding octane and cooling everything, but if you want max effort, then get a Razor kit. Reason is that you have to run the 50/50 mix in the snow kit where as you can run 100% methanol (non-lubed) in the Razor kit. 100% methanol will offer greater cooling capacity and octane increases.

Nothing crazy this is my street gn it's lill stuff with a t49 just 18psi I have kr and I got the kit free.Yep, Julio modifies the pumps to run straight meth. I still need to replace my pump every three years or so but rebuilds are reasonable. By all means, if it's not an extreme tune, use what you already have. How fast are you looking to go with your current setup?

There is a reason you got it FREE!Ya I got the kit free but if I was going to pay for one Alki control but this look like it be fine for this car

Dam glad my other car when's it's done all on e85 lolThe short version..... Controller burned up 3 times. Last time the controller actually caught on fire( I have video from my Iphone because I thought it would be an insurance claim). Check valve failed several times and flooded motor. Between fixing leaks, catching on fire and flooding and some jerk kid at the other end of the phone, I gave up. All on $30k Duramax.
Maybe I'll sell it or trade it lol
Let me know which kit, as I may have a buyer if it is the base, boost referenced kit, not the electronic controller one.
These boost kits have worked good and been reliable up to the 22 psi level which is as far as we have gone with the Snow kits and the 50/50 mix.
I do take issue however with this statement "100% methanol will offer greater cooling capacity and octane increases."
My reason is that water has about 7 times the latent heat of evaporation of alky which is why many racers use the 50/50 mix usually with race gas on turbo and supercharger applications on the land, sea and water!
Alky does not increase the octane, but its cooling affect allows more cylinder pressure, aka HP!
The alky racers I know use 3 times the amount of pure alky vs. race fuel to attain the same HP level and one of my sources there is discussions Kenny D.
