Yeah I guess they redesigned it - I mounted it upside down to have the controls accessible and the boost tube pointed in the right direction.

I almost went with the Snow Performance Kit, but i got the Progressive Alky Control Kit. I plan on installing mine this week, and since I can get Meth for free thats what I'm going to use. How much H.P. can these kits help a truck untuned and tuned.

I just called around and found a shop with methanol - $2.75/gal , so I'll be switching to meth or maybe a mix with water.


what are your iat's before and after and what boost psi do you have it coming on at...

Haven't checked IAT's yet but so far I've only used denatured alcohol, and supposedly a 50/50 mix of water/meth is much cooler. I had it come on at 4 or 5 psi but that seems too soon, causes it to bog down a bit, I think 6 might work better.

Went out and did a few WOT runs, highest IAT I saw was 123, but its also in the high 50's here and I'm sure the intercooler is getting nice and cold as well.

I set the turn-on psi to about 7, and reduced the pump speed a little, and also fixed a pretty big leak I was unaware of on the pump outlet fitting - first rolling part-throttle blip to 7psi got the tires loose immediately....and 80-100 went by FAST at wot I'm very impressed with just the cooling benefit so far, and I'm not even using meth/water yet which is supposed to be colder. When I got home the blower inlet was ice cold

Dyno tune with more boost and timing next week
