Why buy insurance that you know isn't the best? After all I have spent on the car going cheap now doesn't make since to me!

Lol trust me it's over kill
If your just using it for its cooling effect and not bumping the timing for the hp advantage

It's like getting a nos kit and instead of going for the simple jet dry shot your getting the full 2stage fogger wet kit but then only doing a 50shot

Just my 2cents any way I will post a picture of my setup on my old Stillen kit




It was a nice clean look. And worked well.

I agree with you. I have 5 Uprev maps. 1-93oct, 2-91oct, 3-93oct w/meth, 4-valet, 5-security/no start. My 93+meth map allows me to run more timing and gives me 22hp over my 93 map. In the summer I still use methanol on top of my non-meth maps. Devils own and Boost Juice are good, but I am now mixing my own 50/50 mix VP M1 with distilled water. So much more cost effective!

Do you know how much it takes your torque up with the meth tune?

I'd have to take a look at my dyno sheet, but I want to say I didn't gain any torque from the meth.

Snow Performance Boost Juice
I am assuming it is 1 gallon at $8.99? The product description doesn't even say how much you get.haha

That looks clean. What stage kit? The price range is big from stage 1 to 4. How much juice do you go through on average when it was on?

How much did it cost you to make a gallon? The boost juice linked above is $8.99 per gallon (it seems).

With VP's M1 costing me $45 for a 5 gallon jug and distilled water being very cheap, I can make 10 gallons of a 50/50 mix for less than $50 vs $35-40 for 4 gallons of Boost Juice. When JEGS has free shipping on Boost Juice that is only way I could justify buying it. Shipping can easily add $10-15 to 4 heavy gallons being shipped.

A gallon will last me anywhere from 1 1/2- 2 months.

I should have asked clarified but how many driven miles is that? With the occasional boosted run.
