Can You Run This Every Day On Daily Drivers?and How Much Bombing Has To Be Done To The Truck?

Yes you can use it daily on your daily driver. It isn't what bombing that has to be done, it is do you need it to keep EGT,s and smoke in check? I would say from my presonal experience is that it isn't needed until you are fueling at a rate of 400 HP on a 12V it just depends on your combination box turbo etc. on a 24V.

On my truck with stock injectors and an Edge EZ, I gained 65hp this spring. I could not tell you what the EGTs were doing, since it took me until last month to actually drive holding the boost level where the system turns on (READ - operator error). Now I am running stage II injectors and still have the stock turbo. You don't need a BOMBed truck, just have the ability to get at least 25psi in boost. Even then I would imagine that a kit could be tuned for a completely stock truck and still get great HP gains and lower EGT's

I drive my truck just about every day on average 200 km, I use the snow stage 2 everywhere I go. The tank it comes with is to small - I installed a 15 gallon fuel cell in my box it last for about 5-6 tanks of fuel before refill is required.

meth isnt kind to the head gasket,just a heads up. Probably no worse than propane or nitrous,but some guys have blown the head gasket using meth.

I Am Running A Tst Comp Box With Open 4" , Fass And An Afe. I Am Planning On Some Pump Work , Injectors(dd2 Or 3) And Turbo Up Grade . I Need To Be Able To Drive The Truck With Out Smoking The Town Out. How Much Will The Snow Stage 2 Keep The Smoke Down And Will It Raise Hp? I Want The Hp/ft Lbs Up But I Don't Need The Attention Of The Smoke. Also Is Their Any Problem In The Cold Temp. ? Thanks

water/meth only helps ( just noticable ) reduce smoke at higher boost conditions,this is where the greater air flow of a larger turbo normally make the big difference of minimizing smoke,water/meth it will not reduce smoke on spool up. Propane is a little more noticable at lower boost for reducing smoke because it increases the catalyst of diesel. If you get dd2 or dd3's there will be smoke spooling up - this can be reduced greatly by using a comp box with smoke setting set a 1.

The jury is still out on this one.



If used properly (IE as recomended) it should be harmless. Too much Meth in your mix, injecting WAAAAAY too much, or if you are already running high boost, then yeah, you might have problems.
