methanol injection
Hello.. I was researching on methanol kits like snow and devil's own and needed to see if anyone is running this set ups on their supercharged 04-08 trucks.. all the other threads I saw on this were a few years old..

SkidMarkRacing's S'CREW runs one.

This is NOT a plug. I have worked closely with SNOW offering their kits. If you consider buying a system, SNOW is the brand to get! It WORKS!

Click on products for the details. You will want to use the Stage III stand alone LCD controlled system.

on the old threads I saw I read it damages the supercharger's rotors.. does it help performance wise alone or just by being able to raise boost and changing the timing?

To keep it simple, it decreases charge temps substantially, which equals more power. It allows you to make more power by running more timing while preventing detonation. It is not uncommon to see 50 HP gains, but it is best to tune for it and keep the tank full.

Our testing has shown a 10 HP increase in HP for every 10 degree drop in charge temp. That is roughly a .1 second drop in E.T.

I have yet to hear anything of damaged rotors due to alcohol injection. You can also run straight water if you are worried about it, but the alcohol is the trick in dropping charge temps as much as possible.

thanks for the info Crash! where I read about the damaged superchargers on L's was on an old post on this site.. I'm very interested on the snow system cause I was leaning more towards methanol than nitrous; and by what you told me is going to help me out a lot.. I live in south texas where we race on 80-100 degree weather.

I have a whipple charger and I want to raise the boost; I figure this will counter the extra heat produced
