Its the new 200/ 250 pump.
Coolingingmist old style controller boost referenced .
I have it set to start pumping at 18 pounds boost / progresive to 58 pounds.
According to Devels own these new pumps when turned up will pressure up to 270/ 280 psi at 13.5 volts.
Minus pushing against 60 pounds turbo boost & Minus 5 pounds per nozzle should leave me with 190 to 200 pounds at full tilt.
There again, thats per devels own.

It's starting to get cold, and since I have only been running distilled water I've started looking into adding a little Methanol to prevent freezing. Here's a little chart I found on the net. I've found some windshield washer concentrate locally that's 98% methanol and I will be adding it to the distilled water that's already in the tank.
I'm going to try running 20% and see how it goes. It doesn't get all that cold here in Jersey.

24% by volume should cover the coldest nights in NJ
But Ive been told to stay out of the high boost range 55 /70.

Right now I've got about 6% by volume in the tank. I'm still debating how much more to add. I also run water pump lubricant in the tank, and I really don't know how that will effect the freeze point.

I might just take the tank out for the winter. I'm spraying so much water that it scares me to add to much meth to the mix. At full tilt with both stages spraying I'm at .9 gal./min and with the meth in the mix, that's a lot of unregulated fuel.

It was also recomended to cut the amount injected by 1/2 to limit the meth.
Still , some say not a problem.
I might turn my controller down to 50 % to be on the safe side.
You could always pull a nozzle or two or cut power to one of your pumps.

FYI
-20 blue windshield fluid has 50 ounces of meth per gallon.
Which is about 40 % meth.
By weight/ by volume can be confusing.

I have a DevilsOwn progressive kit in the car. The controller is small but I do not like that you cannot adjust the duty cycle to help limit the spray. You would have to make sure you have enough nozzle to be effective but not too much that you flood out the engine with water.

The Coolingmist varicool I have in the truck is nice for that. I run 2x12gph nozzles and I can cut the volume down when its cold out. If I run 100% DC at 13 psi start when its below 40*f it will pop and miss but if I cut her to 70% DC it runs just fine. (-20 washer fluid)

The VariCool II is a very nice unit. Changing the point at which the system turns on and the duty cycle of the pump is very easy so you can react to changing conditions on the fly if you want.

Depends on your use!
Snow's is the only kit I know well. Have played with CoolMist, and don't care for their controller.

On Snow's, You want a Stage III if towing long distances where H2O/Meth conservation is i portant.
Stage II works well for most people, for performance and cooling egt's, where using lots of water before shutting down is not so critical.

Hope this helps some.

I plan on using it for some towing but not too much. I will use it when I do a sled pull and some performance. I mainly want it to help cool my super B special with my 120hp nozzles. Snow is a great product but boy they r pricey for my budget. My truck is a DD and reliability is something I want to stick with. Alot of people have ran Devils Own but nothin said much about it.
