randomquickness is a splendid one to behold

I have a Cooling Mist kit and it has been great. If I didn't have that kit I would probably go with Snow. Also quality kits.

Speaking of Snow ...

Anyone tried their meth kit? I could get my hands on one for a good price, but I'm not sure ...

Do you have any suggestions for a straight meth kit?

i'm using Aquamists HFS-3 without problem sometimes 100% methanol , but it is better to use 50% because of the blowoff (it can take fire in engine bay if you use blowoff)

Yeah I remember when I tryed tuning using 100% meth and noticed much higher boost temps and get knock much easier than with some water mixed in.

Devilsown makes quality kits. I have used there basic boost switch kit for a couple of years.

I contacted the guys at EPL, here is the link presenting the system :https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...n-install.html

According to EPL this system can run straight methanol with no issues.
