Do you think 18-19* with a 4lb pulley and 93 octane would be safe (with the Boost Cooler that is)?
I read that you went away from straight h20 because of some surging at part throttle boost. Do you think the solenoid for syphoning might help that, or is it programed to inject under those conditions anyway.
Thanks again for so much help!

Thanks guys. This is definitely looking to be my next mod.

I get 3-4 tanks of gas out of one tank of alky. But if you drive with your foot on the floor all the time your usage would go up. A tank is about 1 gallon and would cost about $2. if you use Snows recommendation of 49/51 alky to water. They recommend methanol which is $3-$4 per gallon, and you'd use about 1/2 a gallon plus 1/2 gallon of water to fill the tank. The cost to run the system is a non-factor in my opinion, especially compared to mixing Xylene or race gas. Now I am still a BIG believer in race gas and toluene/Xylene, but for a daily driver I think the alky is THE way to go. Costs almost nothing and allows timing that nearly equals race gas.

Jody,
I assume you're running a MAF extender........does the Snow MAF controller have any problems with this? Does the controller adjust flow by itself, or do you tune it?
I noticed most people have the nozzle mounted in an aftermarket elbow. Would the OEM elbow work as well?
Thank you!

I run the SCT Big Air maf. The kit is adjustable for initial on voltage and full on voltage (controls pump speed). So it would work with a stock maf, SCT unit, or maf extender; anything with a 5 volt reference wire.
You can install the nozzle in the stock rubber boot; that's initially how I had mine before I bought the C&L unit.

Jay- That is one SWEET install!!
I'll be doing this in a week.
*Is there a way to wire an LED, mounted in the cabin, that illuminates when the pump is running with the Snow kit?
*Any tips on mounting the injector into the stock intake elbow without leaks?
*What MAF voltage are you guys using to initially activate the pump?
Thanks to Jody and Jay for all of the help!

Yes there is an LED mounted in the Dash I just didnt take a picture of it! This install is in a friends truck, still working on the tuning for it. So its constantly being played with right now to get it set right. Not sure about mounting it in the rubber boot, that might be a problem as they want you to Drill and tap to thread the nozzle in.
