I'm running RippMods kit, which I think is essentially a snow kit. Most of the kits I've seen online are all really good. It's just a matter of getting the right sized nozzle.

I know one manufacturer (www.coolingmist.com) has a calculator for picking the right nozzle based on boost/displacement/etc values.

Well, first of all - Plugs are relatively inexpensive Get a set of NGK iridiums just to be safe, imo.

Then at least you know you're good with a 55 shot.

That was one of my major concerns... the nozzle size for my puny little 1.5... I have seen other calculators before, but not that one.. Thanks for the site.

If you have an intercooler then run water/meth after the intercooler. If you have no intercooler run water/meth before the compressor.

Thanks for that info. But as far as the meth injector, do I install it before the s/c or after the s/c right before the intake manifold. Which way is better???

Thanks for the info. Any one else have any more comments on that?? I've heard of both ways. I've just bought an Aquamist D2 meth injection kit.

Deffinetly AFTER the compressor. The whole point of it is to lower temperatures and increase cotane to limit detination.

The reason a supercharger creates heat is the compression of the air. As its compressed it heats up. You want to cool it after it has been heated.

Thanks to those who responded to my question. From what I'm hearing, it seems to be better after the s/c. I will install it tomorrow. Can't wait. Like a kid in a candy store.

^ i hear the snow kit is good and the spearco is also good. thats just a turbonetics rebrand. i have the one above which is the rippmods kit. I had that one put on because they did the install for me. i dont think you will go wrong with any of the 3 kits. With mine it taps right into the windshield fluid bottle (so i have 1 gallon of juice).

Also - i wanted to add that with the s/c you will get a lot more hp if you are tuned w/ methanol. Without the tune you will keep your setup running more consistant on the warmer months but will not gain much. With a tune i have seen people get 15-20whp more.

Its a WATER/methenol injection kit, of course you are going to add water to it.
