    Because Labonte used to design and manufacture the Snow kits...they no longer do, the older Snow kits were great becasue of this. I have heard the newer kits use cheaper parts etc. Plus if you want tech advice Labonte is the way to go, as he was the Tech Advisor for Snow for years. As I said we have used both, back in the day we alwasy used Snow, but now we use labonte 99% of the time.

    Paulie you might want to mix that straight meth with some water bro. Straight meth is HIGHLY flammable. Also the best part of the injection is the cooling and detonation relief that the water provides. Some places suggest starting with 100% water and working into your mix. Watching your afrs the entire time.

    a quote i found on http://www.alcoholinjectionsystems.com/

    What Sort Of Mix Should I Run?
    Depending on your application, you can use anything from 100% water to 100% methanol and anything in between (i.e. 30% water and 70% alcohol/methanol). When using pure alcohol or methanol, greater decreases in air charge temperatures with higher increases in octane can be achieved. However, when used by them selves and not mixed with at least 40% water, alcohol and methanol are extremely flammable. For this reason, we recommend a 50/50 of water and alcohol/methanol mix, as it is no longer a flammable liquid, yet still achieves optimal results.

    Just dont want you to catch on fire ;)

    I think I speak for the resident gear heads when I say "yes". It can only help keep things cooler with all the heat blowers give out.

    What about the placement of the nozzle on the twin screw? Unlike the centrifugals it is placed before the rotors, over time will the water in the mix cause damage?

    Everyone on a stock shortblock NEEDS W/M. It's a safe addition for the rest. Never know when you'll get a load crappy gas.
