Default Snow Performance Methanol Injection Installation

I just finished the installation of a Methanol Injection kit by Snow Performance on my truck. It is a 2007 Silverado NBS, 5.3 N/A, cammed, full bolts ons, custom cylinder heads. The kit I chose is part number 20012. The control unit uses the MAF sensor signal to activate the methanol pump. There are 2 adjustments on the controller to set when the pump will come on and at what rate. I have been experimenting with different on times under different driving conditions to see how it feels. I am very happy with the performance so far. Later next week I am going back to see Justin and we will put it on the dyno for another tune. Overall it is a very simple installation. Here are some pictures of the install.

Here is the motor after the cam installation.

I upgraded to the large reservoir. It fits perfect on the battery tray in the left front.

Under the battery tray is a bracket, this was the perfect place to mount the pump. It is hidden and looks clean.

I installed the injector very close to the throttle plate. I tapped the Volant intake and threaded in the injector.
The injector flows 375 ml/min.

The control unit is a simple 4 wire hook up. Power, ground, power to pump and MAF signal. I mounted it to the left front fender.

Next I tapped into switched ignition power for the controller. I went from the bottom of the fuse box so all the wires are hidden.

I covered the red tubing and ran it up with the engine harness.

The last addition I did was a green led mounted on the instrument cluster bezel. It comes on when the pump is activated.

I want to thank Matt and Ray at Snow Performance for their help and support on this project.

I got the adapters from Kurt Urban performance. I plumbed into all 4 corners and ran 2 hoses to the radiator.
