Default snow performance?

Has anybody used this kit by snow performance http://www.snowperformance.net/proddetail.asp?prod=auto023 ???
It uses your MAF for progressive control. I am trying to find the best kit any inputs would be awsome. One more thing how do you figure out how high you can crank the boost?

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see anything boosted in your sig. Do you have anything with his kit on it? Not trying to bash Alky control, he has a good kit and I have talked to him and bought a couple of things from him, but it's a LOT of money for his kit to me. I use a kit that is about half what his is (Devils Own and LOVE it!) and it performs flawlessly and I have had absolutely GREAT customer service from these guys. I've see you post several times about how great Alky control is and its cool if you like them, but I think these guys are looking for input from people that are ACTUALY using kits.

The Devil's Own kit is a great kit also. It uses a SMALL microprocessor variable controller that is MAP based, which is better then a MAF setup in my option, MAF are too easy to max out. And I don't think they will work on are truck as are MAF work off of Hz and not volts. You better check on that befor droping the dough.

I have a Snow Performance Stage 2 MAF setup installed on my truck. Not tuned yet but that's another issue. It varies injection using MAF voltage from a selected start voltage to a selected voltage where it is pumping at 100%. Takes some time to tune but it's a very accurate and consistent setup. There is also a boost referenced controller available too.

I have used 4 different kits including Snow Performance and Devilsown. They all have worked very well for me.

I have the Snow kit with boost referenced progressive controller. I am going with the Alky Control kit soon. The snow kit is OK, but my lines started leaking at the fittings and I had to use GOOP to seal them, now they look like **** and there is rust inside the globs of GOOP. I would be OK if I could find a way to get fittings and stainless line like the alky control kit uses so I dont have to worry about leaks. I tried getting SS lines and AN fittings but tore my hands up trying to get the fittings on the lines and getting the fitting to match up with the exit of the pump and fitting for the nozzle. Wasted money. It wouldve been cheap to buy the Alky Control kit. Im sure other kits work as does the Snow kit. If you want the best package you will pay for it.
