Do a search on here for water methanol and you will find your answer.
When I was going to put a kit on, I read through everything and John P has some great writeups on water/meth kits.
Sorry, but thats the best I can do.

i was running snow performance boost juice. i was told at the diesel shop that it was injecting too soon and was "putting out the fire," my max boost is around 38 psi if that helps. can anyone tell me what they are running their water meth at?

If yours is progressive at the injection rate then you can start it down low on the boost curve between about 7 and 12 psi with it having a progressively higher flow until it maxes out at around 30 to 35 psi. If it is an all or nothing then you need to wait until you are above 30 to flow.

These numbers varies depending on the nozzle size but assumes that that are correctly sized for the HP and fueling you are doing.

You did confirm that the nozzles are atomizing correctly didn't you?
