Here a a thread that lotsofmiles started. His oil analysis wasn't all that great after running WWF. Tap water has minerals that will build up and get in your oil. I got a drum of meth for $165 and think distilled water runs around .85 cents a gallon.
DO NOT inject water/meth at low boost, high rpm circumstances. You will get pre-denotation, and white smoke out of the exhaust, and it will "blurp" when its on, trust me :lol:
I have the labonte system, and I love it. quality water/meth kit, and i use Peak +20 windshield washer fluid. 11% methanol per gallon.
I ditched my washer fluid, cuz its too small for me. I have a 5 gallon pesticide tank in my drivers side of the bed.
I just can't get behind any of the water/meth set up's. You can get a pre-detonation that will rock your world. It adds way too much timing IMO and you must tune of it. I had one of the old 2 stage snow systems and they recommended 50/50 water/meth. It was definitely an aferburner when you hit the switch. I worked my way down to about 10% meth. I finally blew a head gasket, with head studs in my old 02 GMC CC/SB. That's what made me go to twins. If you are running big power it increases drive pressure and that in not good. I don't like it and for me it's not worth the risk. I didn't know tap water would add minerals to the oil, I know it will plug up the jets in h20/meth system after a while. Not for me but to each their own. Good luck with it.

I've been running mine for over 30,000 miles now. Using it 'responsibly' now. had to try out the power for sure. and my dyno sheet is floating around here and on Snows site.
I still want to know why you think that kit is the best when you dont have it yet. Do you have personal experience with it? I know of alot of people who have the Labonte and even the Snow kit however never seen the one you mentioned. The controller looks straight up cheezy if you ask me. It has dials and no heads up screen so unless there is some breakthrough on their kit I dont see it being any better.

in his defense they have that posted all over there site, i have been looking at kits and came upon there site. they say they are the best all over there site and he just copied the link over.
what about running just straight water, are there many of you guys that do that? i have been looking at kits also, but not sure which to choose.
Ive been thinking about get a water/meth kit but i was thinking about running just water. My egts can hit 1600 pretty easy without towing anything. Im worried about running the quarter mile with my egts that high. What would be better? Running water or water and meth???

straight water netted me a 13.1 in the 1/4, and 50/50 netted me a 12.64. Big difference in power. water will not help you in the 1/4 for time, only in EGT's.
Something everybody needs to remember is that meth is just another fuel so if your already injecting more fuel than u can burn u will not see much for HP gains but using just water will still drop your egts a good amount.
I first saw these setup kits on EBay and they are sold by coolingmist.com
I also had the chance to download the setup instructions. I feel the prices on EBay are great and looking forward to getting one and setting it for trailer hauling. The Diesel World mag has an article with the Snow unit that can save a lot on fuel while towing
