Anyone on here running it? I`ve been thinking about doing it. I`ve emailed Snow Performance. Is there any other kits? Any better than the other?

I run lots of it... I bought a cheap kit from coolingmist and had problems with the lines poping off so I ran them in steel braided stuff... I've heard good things about snow and AIS

Snow said they can use the MAF to control how much is sprayed. Do the other companies have that option or do they use vacuum?

I've heard of people having problems with the controllers especially on kenne bell cars with the instant boost...they might work on centrifical...I just run mine off a 5lb boost switch.

Well my car is N/A so I can`t use the boost to control it :lol: My car according to the online calculator has right at 11.5:1 compression. I`ve heard these kits are good for cars with higher compression. Right now my car is making 385hp and 400tq.

I have had some questions on the kit and what I found out is that if you will see the best results from a boosted application. You can see a little benifit from running water/meth on a N/A, but you will need to tune for it. The kit is made to make your car run rich while cooling the intake charge at the same time.

I've heard people theorize about using meth injection on n/a cars, but nobody with actual numbers showing a nice benefit.

I can`t remember but I tought Ken said he had done one on a N/A car. I know the gains will not be as much as a boosted car. I`m still up in the air on this but since so far no one around here has it on a N/A car that I know of I wouldn`t mind trying to see what it will do.

It seems to me that you'd need the compression to benefit it...i know your car is 11.3:1 or so, but if you were more like 12+:1 then i think you'd see some huge gains running it...you'd basically run that and 93 octane in the place of pump gas. So basically i think the difference you'll see is what you might see if you tuned your car for race gas.
