Default Just got Alki

I finally got my Alki injection installed. Wow. It's unbelievable the difference it makes. It dropped my intake temps from 115 to 58, and this is pushin 21.6 lbs of boost. Will have some track times soon. Any boosted trucks should look into this.

I got some questions, I take it its controlled by a boost controller? So at so many psi it starts to inject it? Also do you have to have a seperate fuel cell?

Gees, nearly cutting your IATs in half is amazing!

My entire set up cost about 200 bucks. No fuel cell, I control boost with my chip. I turns on at around 8 lbs.

i just ordered a kit. i can't wait to give it a try. i am suprized at how little usefull information i have been able to find out about it. there are people that swear by it and a few that say it hasn't worked that great for them.

i want to know things like how much hp does it give you without turning up the boost, just by cooling the IAT's?

how much more boost will it let you run over pump or how much more boost and timing?

how does it compare to race fuel? can you get to the same hp level with alkey injection and pump gas as you can 114+octane?

how much can you spray before it wont vaporize any more and ends up going in as a liquid. at what point is port injection better?

is port injection better or spraying back by the intercooler better?

do you need to do anything diferent with your plugs?

do you need to decrease oil change intervals if you spray a lot of meth?

what is the ideal a/f ratio on my wideband. i am not talking actual a/f ratio but rather what the gauge is saying. should i still shoot for mid 11's when spraying meth?

is it safe to spray meth when it is cold out, like 20deg?

if your not allowed to spray meth but you can run water(hotrod PGD), how much does that help?

soo many questions.
