I'm running a Snow Stage 2 kit that I added a Stage # controller to. The flow comes on relatively smoothly but you do know when it's on. The Stage 3 controller alows for Power only and W/M injection when towing and EGTs start climbing such as when towing up hill. You can check my sig for numbers.

I have had the Snow stage 2 on for two years now. Using plain winter washer fluid (30% meth) adds 40-50 hp. If you buy methonal and mix it a bit stronger (50-60%) you can get about 60-70 hp.



I only use it for racing.



Beyond 45-50% meth mix, the cooling characteristics disappear.

The higher % of Methanol the more chance of blowing your head gasket, be gentle

If you do a lot of heavy towing, W/M is reccomended by a lot of people. Guy's seem to have pretty good results with these systems, even on 1st Gen trucks.

with 321,000 miles can i put on water-meth and still be safe, also should i use stage 1 or stage 2 i just want good power some towing

The latest and greatest system from them is called "mileage max" and is made for full time use.

It uses a very small amount at low boost levels which will give better mileage and will make the big hp numbers when running full tilt.



It is cost effective if you plan on keeping your truck a while.
