    No Ron... not thee meth you make in your garage...

    Guess I need to make sure my baby is staying as cool as possible. I don't want to say money is no option which on my poor salary would be a joke, but I don't want to pinch pennies when it comes to quality of keeping componets running as they should. I've herd they can even add a little extra ponies under the hood, but I'm not that interested in that, just the job of keeping the pistons as cool as possible. Quality, ease of installation, reliability, etc, are my main concerns. Who's best, best warranty, etc?

    I would recommend a Labonte kit with the boost referenced controller.

    Is that an all inclusive kit, or can I use my washer fluid bottle? Forgot to mention I want the idiot light for back-ups.

    You can use your washer bottle. Yes, its a complete kit. What idiot light? The Labonte kit comes with an LED, but since I didn't install it I don't remember what it signaled.

    Correct... don't want to take a chance of running out. I probably won't be running a meth tune, but I don't want to let it go empty.

    We carry both the Snow and Labonte setups, I prefer the Labonte personally. the kits come with an LED as Adam stated, which lets you know if it is on, if you use your washer res...of course it will tell you when fluid is low. There are also failsafes you can add to the systems as well. Let us know if we can help Drew.

    The Snow Performance Stage 3 comes with a lot more than a LED. The LCD Screen displays boost pressure, fuel injector duty cycle, as well as water-methanol injection percent. Quick, easy, positive adjustments are made with 2 push buttons. Low profile design allows for easy-to-view and discrete mounting.

    True, this is also available on the Labonte kits too..however the basic Snow kits only come with an LED. They are very similar kits...Labonte used to design and manufacture the Snow Kits.

    With the Labonte you can add gauges, LCD screens, failsafes etc if you want.

    No they are very similar, it just depends what you get in addition ie a failsafe or monitor etc.
