Type fuel being used.
What are you running?

How much boost one is running? === >10 psi
Type supercharger or turbocharger used. ===>Vortech s/c
How efficient the intercooler is if equipped? ==> the one that came with the kit.
Base horsepower without water methanol injection.==> 370 hp
Type fuel being used. ==> 93 oct.

There is a nice article in this month's 5.0 Mustang magazine. They added a Stage 2 MAF Snow Performance kit onto a mildly modded Shelby GT500. To summarize the article, they were running 10 psi of boost, leaned the A:F out to 12:1 and picked up 62 HP and 50+ ft-lb to the wheels with a 50/50 mix of water/methanol.

As a company we would like to say it does increases gas mileage but the fact is if it does its only marginally better and may not be significant enough to make a real differnce in cost saving for customers. It does do the following....
- Lower air temperatures by 50-250+ degrees
- Reduces cylinder temperatures by 250+ degrees
- Increase your 87-93 pump gas by 8-20+ points
- Increase horsepower safely by 8-15%
- Allows you to safely run more boost and timing
- Longer more stable combustion expansion and progression
- Removes carbon build up from combustion chambers, pistons and valves
- Reduces & helps eliminate damaging engine detonation & pre-ignition
- No need for expensive racing fuel or additives

Are you running the UTEC? If so you can simply use our Stage 1 system and use the UTEC to control the water methanol injection system.

Yeah! well we never did a mid boost or a high boost run, so theres alot still in question??
I guess we'll never know that outcome, but I'll have aleast another 100hp ontop of my last high boost "for sure" and an extra 1k on my RPM. So it will be fun!
