Default Looking to become a Meth head

I've read as much as I can stand to read on running meth on an N/A motor and now I think I'm ready to buy a kit. I'm posting here because you guys have more experience with meth injection.

My setup is a H/C LS2 with a slightly bumped CR. I also have a ported FAST/90 and a VR CAI, in case those alter the installation any. At first I plan on installing the kit as is and see how it runs. Then eventually I'll stop by one of the many great LS tuners in my area and possibly add some timing. I'm fairly competent so I was planning to do the install myself, unless I get a good deal on an install and tune from a local tuners.

As far as I can tell, there are 3 popular kits. Snow, AEM, and Alky. I would like some feedback from those of you who have installed and/or used any of these kits. (or others I may not be aware of)

So now that you guys have had the kits for awhile, which would you recommend? Any regrets or things you wish you had done differently? Any problems I should be aware of? I've read some stories where the controller had meth spraying continuously and hydrolocked the motor! However, I don't know if that was an install error or not.

I plan on using the WW tank, since it has a level sensor. Is there anything else I'll need? I'd like a complete kit and not have to run to the auto-parts/hardware store in the middle of the install. I'm looking for a clean hassle-free install, minus the usual knuckle-busting expletives.

Thanks

I'd get an Alky Control kit. For the C6 platform, you're not likely to find a better system or support. I never had any issues with it while I owned that car, and the quality of the system components is top notch.

I installed the system myself several years ago, and while time consuming to make everything very clean and hidden, it was well worth the effort. With something so critical, I made sure to crimp + solder all my connections. There is a bit of wiring with the Alky kit, but nothing too difficult.

I'm not sure what kind of gains you'll see on an NA setup, though. I'm not sure it's something I'd add if I didn't have forced induction.

Alky Control is the kit to get.

Alky control is the only way to go straight VP M1 Meth! snow and aem don't even belong in the same sentence or compare.

Looks like Alky is the choice. Obviously FI benefits more from meth than NA but in my research I've found it can still be useful. Thanks for the help.

Alky control for sure. Never had an issue with mine. Plus Julio is always available for help. He is always willing to help with any issues.

Any lowering of the intake charge is always a good thing!
