Water/meth

just thought i would share my experience with the snow stage2 kit. im currently running apec washer fluid, which is a 70/30 mix. it lower's my egt's at peak temp by at least 150 to 200 deg. and when i went to the track yesterday my times went from a 12.9 to 12.7. in sw3. also, i noticed a power difference the day it was installed. so i say thumbs up for the snow stage kit's.

I have had good results with my stage II kit. I run a 50/50 mixture. Is the 70/30 that you run 70meth and 30water?

Well I like it better. Of course the 70/30 will cool better but your talking a few egt's. I noticed that the 50/50 pulled good and overall worked best. I dynoed the 70/30, 50/50 amd 30/70 finding that the 50/50 made great power and good cooling.

I am using the boost juice from snow, like i said its 50/50. I was mixing my own, 50 meth 50 water but the boost juice seems to work better.

I like to run the -20* washer fluid most of the time. Its approx. 30% meth. I have run as high as 75% meth and no nasty problems. I had the truck set to stock for about a week and had the water on. With washer fluid it made a nice power adder. I could only build 34PSI boost without and 42 with. It felt like a solid 75HP gain. With TNT on #9 I cant feel any difference at all but the EGT's do not hardly climb at all with it on. I did a 5th gear pull from 1400-2800 and the EGT was only 900* at the end.

I have to smugle washer fluid in from out of state here in the Komunist Republic of Kalifornia so therefore I buy 5 gallons of meth and mix my own

Its a good kit and once you dial it in it works great. What I found that was interesting was that I changed to a grid delete and I really can tell when it comes on. The factory grid has heating coils that won't allow the system to automize fully, the coils just collect the spray and causes it to drip and pool up in the grid. For sure put the grid delete in. With the grid delete I saw a 12psi gain and with the stock grid it was 5-7, on the juice.
