Default Best Budget Alky System?

So, I have my car dialed in at 10psi with no meth injection, I want to add a system in for some piece of mind. Having said that I dont want to spend a ton of money on the the latest space age turbo blaster whatever.. I have used a Snow kit in the past (10 years ago) and it was reliable and had no issues. I know alot of folks are using Alky Control setups either from ECS or Julio directly.

So, I am leaning towards the stage 2 snow setup for around 450. Looking for others input on what lead to your decision on which setup to go with?

Also where are you all mouting your spray nozzles on MAF tuned setups?

So, you cant spray through the MAF, correct? I am wondering where I have room for the nozzle on my A&A setup.

I thinking I should have just bought the sweet setup that was for sale recently!!

The difference in price on an Alky system is not that much, I'd look more at proven results. I've been running ECS/Alkycontrols setup for many years without a hitch!!

I ran the AIS system on last car and it worked, nothing fancy about it but it worked. I now have a ALKY control kit for my current (not installed yet).

budget and supercharged vettes do not go together.

I run the ECS/Julio kit and it has worked fine. Only problem I have ever had is one time at the track I blew the vac/boost line going from my vac block to the alky controller. I blame that one on me, installer error. Fixed it and good to go since then.

I've tuned AlkyControl, AIS, and Snow.

If you are serious about making the car faster, then the only choice is AlkyControl period.

I've learned the hard way trying to make other kits work and they can not get the results a AlkyControl kit gets.

Alky Control.

If you are spending $450 on a car that you have already spent thousands and thousands on, but spend another $200
