Methanol

I have a Snow Performance kit on the way...any neat custom set ups or tips for my installation? Should be here by the weekend to make for a fun holiday

I installed one on a '97 a while back. Hardest part was finding a place to mount everything, under the hood is short on space Ended up installing the pump on the battery box in-between the battery and headlight. Installed the control box on top of the underhood fuse box.
You may want to think about not using the windshield bottle for your tank, it doesn't last long at all, in some cases less than 10 miles. I ended up plumbing in a 5 gallon tank in the bed of the truck I did.

Thanks for the info Bill. How did you like the performance? I know you will burn a good bit if you are towing but how much did you burn playin' around town?

It's not on my truck but the owner who tows heavy loves it, drops egts on the passes 200°. He wasn't really after a power increase, just cooler egts on his 400hp '97. Driving from S. Arizona to Montana recently he used less than 5 gallons of minus 40° washer fluid. I think this is 50% meth, 99¢/gallon at Target. One thing I had never thought of before but my friend has encountered is the percent meth in washer fluid decreases as you go south, in Arizona it's hard to find fluid with any meth at all. He's learned to stock up in Montana.

Around town you might not use much at all and can get by using the stock washer bottle, good luck finding a place to install the one Snow includes in the kit.

Usage all depends on where you set the controller to come on. I set my buddy's to start out at half pressure at 20 psi boost and full to come on at 30. Running an empty truck it's not often that your boost is over 20 for more than a few seconds, towing up a Rocky Mtn pass it can hold over 30 for a half hour. There are also different nozzle sizes you can change according to what you're running, some people run straight water with bigger nozzles. Snow is the one with answers on this and most always personally answers the phone.
