considering i have hit the boost limit on pump gas at just 10psi i am considering doing a water/meth kit on my car. i have been looking at the Snow stage 2 kit with the safe injection box. i plan on either finding a tank that will fit in the spare tire area or use the washer fluid bottle for a clean looking install. (any info on where to buy a tank would be helpful)

i know i wont get the most out of the cooling by spraying through the blower but the octane boost is really what i need the most. i'm hoping to make 12-13psi and be somewhere around the 620rwhp range when all is said and done.

my main concern is if the meth flow gets too low i would like to open the bypass valve to keep the engine from leaning out. the soleniod that snow sells doesnt look like it would be able to vent much of anything with the tiny 1/8" lines you run it with. is there a kit that can operate the KB bypass and be triggered by the safe injection box? also what is the stock fuel pump capable of making reliably? i dont mind upgrading if i need to.

I can't remember for certain, but check with Kenne Bell to verify whether or not you can run meth through the blower. I know some blowers you will eat the coating off of the rotors with meth.

You need to spray it after the blower otherwise you'll run the risk of washing out the rear bearings

You can spray through, the methanol flashes off as soon as it hits the warm compressed air.

Finally back on the East Coast
At 13 psi with meth you will be way over 620. In fact on 10 psi you already should be over 600.
Are you still on stock engine with that much psi ? Is your car daily driven?

I made 536/443 on 7 psi. Not sure what it is making now. I do not drive the car everyday. It is at 4500 miles in just under a year.

What are these engines capable of making? I haven't heard of any breaking due to power yet

the AIS kit looks really nice. i'm considering doing the stage 1 kit since i really dont think i need a progressive kit with the KB.

after calling KB they said they dont recommend water methanol on any of their blowers. i think i will still give it a shot since so many people are running it with PD blowers and there arent that many issues. worst case is i will be getting a rebuild a few years down the road

if you have a KB 2.6 or 2.8 it will work. they said it works on the GT500 as well.
