Default Meth Injection

Is the snow performance kit all i would need to run meth injection in my truck?
also how often would i need to add methonal and how much does it cost?
what kind of tuning needs to be done?
I have a non intercooled magna charger on a 5.3L sierra

Thanks tyler

Don't know anything about the Snow performance kit. I'm using a SMC kit. I pay 3.50 a gallon at a local speed shop. I run thru a 1/2 gallon in 7-10 days. You will need it tuned for sure. The more meth you use the richer the a/f will be. I'm curious to see how much meth helps the old side mount. I had one for a while.

is your set up pretty streetable?
and is there such thing as a conservative way to run meth, and is your truck a daily driver?
im really looking into buyin one of these kits bc i here good and bad things about meth, it seems like nitrous for the blown, except better.

Mine is a DD, and meth is about 25 bucks for five gallons. you can run a mix of water and meth to save money, But again you will need to tune for the water.

I work out of it everyday. I don't think you understand how meth works. It will drop your intake temps. This allows you to run more boost. Which will make more power. It also adds octane which helps control detonation. It is a fuel so you have to tune your a/f ratio or you will run rich.

I ordered my Radix last week, I will be installing a Meth kit. I mostly understand how it works but I am not sure of the best system to use. Any feed back on what you guys are useing would be helpful. I have been reading up on snow performance, SMC and coolingmist. But all of them say that their system is the best. They all can't be the best. I'm not looking for the cheapest one, I want the best one. I am a firm believer of you get what you pay for. I don't want to put a cheap piece of crap in a 40 thousand dollar vehicle.
Thanks for your help,
Mark

All three of the kits you listed are good systems. Just get the one that is the best price. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples.

i am using the alkycontrol kit. the guy there will answer the phone and is very helpfull. this kit is boost refrenced and comes with a map sensor. there are 3 adjustments on the controler. the first one is the turn on point, you can have it come on at 2ps or 20psi or any presure you want. the 2nd adjustment is for initial flow, you can have it come on easy or come on strong. the last adjustment is the gain ****, it will add more meth based on manifold presure.

there are a couple of nice things about this kit. first is the progresive control, it is prety easy to dial in and not flood out the motor. another good thing is some built in overboost protection, if the boost spikes more meth will flow.

another nice thing is it comes with a 2 or 3 bar map. i took the 0-5volt output off the map and tied it into my gas tank map sensor and now i log my boost with efilive by loging what is suppose to be the gas tank map.

so far i have called up julio a couple of times wanting to get more out of my kit and he was very helpfull, he has a few guys pushing his kits prety hard. we are talking about 900+rwhp on pump gas. both times i called him he set me up with the few extra parts for nothing and sent them right out. the kit was around $550 including the 4 gallon cell i am runing so it isn't a cheap set up and it did take a little time to wire up. so far it has worked perfectly. with my t76 i was able to add about 90rwhp with the meth vs pump gas only, it would be more but my turbo was maxed.

I second the great service I got from julio, I'm nowere near the hp parish is but he treats you like you are. He will answer your questions about his and other kits.
