Default Meth Injection who's the best?

Considering my set up, vortech with 8lbs and a 6.0 at 10.5to1 compression ratio. I want to pick that boost up to 11-12 lbs. What do you guys recomend for me and money is not a big deal to me, I want safety. Thanks

Alky Control is the best kit out there IMO.

I also have a Vortech with a 3.25 pulley (8psi) right now and am researching adding meth injection and going to the 3.12 (11psi).

I've about decided to go with the SMC kit. There have been some complaints on here about customer service but the guy that builds them lives about 30 miles from me. I figure that I can pick up anything that I need directly from him. It is a little higher than some of the others but I like the idea of buying it locally and I've read no complaints on the product just the time it takes to get items shipped.

safety? I'd reconsider the compression ratio and boost. Boosted motors do like lower compression ratios. Obviously it's done higher...but just how safe? hmmm.

I don't have Alky Control, but I have heard nothing but good things form him. Great service supposedly.

This is a good point. What I did was have my high octane table set for the amount of timing I can run with meth and my low is the max I can run without meth. That way if I run out of meth or my system fails (not unheard of) I dont smoke my motor since it will just revert to the low octane table.

hmmm...never thought of that. Makes sense...just like accidently putting low octane in. Have you tested this out with running NO meth and seeing how much knock and/or reverting to the low table the pcm does?

ALKY CONTROL..... Is by far the best in my opinion, great customer service and a great overall kit. I have enjoyed mine so far with no complaints.

Me TOO. I really like mine. The only thing I don't like is the low level L.E.D, it begains to blink when it's about half full, (or emty). I think some baffels (sp) in the tank would help.

I also made the mistake of wiring the low level L.E.D to operate all the time so If my alky is low and I have the system turned off the LED still blinks.

It works pretty well. At the first sign of KR it reverts to the low octane table. The only annoying thing is that it takes a while to get back to the high octane table.

I wonder if there is a table where you can slow or speed up the knock learn...like a knock learn factor. I don't see one at a glance. Hmmm.
