Default Methanol injection.. which kit?

Looking to get myself a methanol/water injection kit and been through a nimber of brands. I'm leaning more towards the snow performance kit, but they offer a number of kits and different stages They even offer a MAF kit?

It's to be fitted with my Vortech. Running a stock pulley for now and changing it soon to a smaller one

thanks

www.coolingmist.com

some of the best low tech systems out there.

There is nothing that can go wrong with them.

you set the valve to open at 7psi and it opens and closes again when you want.

have empty light
and obstruction light.

AEM also offers a brand new kit, at a fantastic price, especially considering everything it comes with

install is a custom affair, since all these kits are universal. All come with detailed instructions on wiring, nozzle locations, etc.

I was gonna do the Snow kit, but after some more reading I think I have decided on either the Aquamist or FJO.

That does look really nice. It's not clear if it can detect a blocked nozzle - do you know if it can? It said it can detect an "error" but not sure if that's just a low fluid level...

Aquamist HFS-5 is the ONLY kit you should use. I tune meth setups EVERY day
this is the ONLY one i would put on my Z

I did some research and DID find that Aquamist make the best meth/water kits. But the price is a bit on the high side ($850 compared to $400 for other kits).

And the way I see it: Aquamist = AEM kit+Stillen oil cooler+shipping!

uh
lemmie know how the motor rebuild goes when a hose pops off or splits or a jet gets clogged, or how the motor likes not getting more meth as the injector duty increases.
i see Coolingmist kits fail alot and some snow kits too.

I tune methanol injected cars EVERY day save your pesos for the HFS
if you want a smokin deal on it i can hook it up for you.

I thought the meth/water kit was safe!
If that's the case, I think i will reconsider then. Coz still, the price is not worth the 20whp!

Thanks for the info though
