[dodgediesel91]

Yes they have that stuff woreked out so well you could put it on a moped.

You can put it on anything. Just need to know the correct nozzle size for injecting it the water/meth. I have been reading up on it as well. My truck gets to hot sometimes more than I like.

Go to Snow Performance: Home and check out their Stage3 mpg/max setup.

Ive been running a AEM system on my truck for a few yrs now. I pull a tripple axle 5er often & want to keep the EGSs in check as much as possible.

Not really sure if it helps alot or not.

Beings its only seen -20 washer fluid, I might not be using it to its full potential.

Oo. Oo. Oo. Oo. Oo.

I was part of the TDR group buy on this one way back when in the before time when Matt Snow was building and selling out of his basement.

Verified Dyno results showing increased HP and TQ based on Water/Meth mix (a good way to find the right mix % - I run 25% meth and 75% water).

My kit is the original stage 1 with the 2 stage controller. First stage (50% duty cycle) kicks in at 15psi, 100% duty cycle at 22psi). Driving up I-70 over Eisenhower (5280 - 11k+ altitude). Cruise set at 70. Boost and EGTs start to climb on the 4%+ grades. At about 1100* my boost will hit 15psi. W/M kicks in, boost jumps to 19psi and EGTs start to drop fairly quick (about 10 seconds) back to 900 - 930. This was back when I was running 80hp injectors and both the Edge EZ and Edge Comp (1x1). That is sooooo cool to watch that EGT gauge drop while pulling a hill. Same results with the Edge units on or off.

Now with my twins and 100hp injectors, the same grades I jump to 23psi +/- pretty quick. Same results except the EGTs do get a bit lower.

I still need to reset my W/M controller to change the duty cycle kick in. It does not take much of a incline to hit the 15psi mark - ergo the M/M is on a lot more frequently.

1. Don't ask how many miles I get per gallon of W/M mix. Usage is all a matter of how much you drive with XXpsi of boost.

2. You need to have a minimum of a 4 gallon capacity for towing or mountain driving... minimum. I have a 5 gallon tank and will use every bit of it on the return trip from Dillon CO to Denver (70 miles) either unloaded or bed full of firewood or granite rock (just touching the overload springs). I have not towed anything larger than a motorcycle trailer loaded with rock.

3. Figure out the mixtures of W/M for your driving needs. I. E. - Too rich (high methanol%) will cause some slight detonation and higher EGTs for daily cruising. Too little will not give the cooling ability. Racing... most people run 100% for the power and screw the EGTs.

For the gains in HP and the EGT cooling, this is one of the best mods a person can put on their truck and the biggest bang for the buck. Double bonus, it will clean your intake, cylinders, and exhaust up to the turbo of carbon better than anything on the market (steam cleaning). Follow the proper usage and rust is not an issue in the intake.

You can buy straight Methanol and mix your own, or as stated, use windshield washer fluid. If you use washer fluid make 100% sure it is METHANOL not Ethanol or Alcohol. Ethanol is bad juju. I've hit spells where I have to spend half a day hitting parts stores and gas stations looking for the right stuff.

I have no affiliation with Matt Snow or Snow Performance. The above statements are given purely as an end user result of the mentioned product.

That is one of the best pieces of info on this mod Iv'e ever read.

Straight to the point & very well spoken.
