Who are some of the better Alcohol / Meth injection kit manufacturers - can't seem to find much info? I want to error on the safe side with a Procharger.

Get ahold of ECS. They have the only kit that I know of specifically designed for the C5. They have been running them on both their ATI and Paxton setups so all the guess work is done.

That is where ECS gets their kits from too.

Julio will treat you right, of course the boys from ECS will.

I have the "ECS" kit and installed it using Cajundude's excellent instructions...

I am surprized the Julio allows ECS to get all the credit for his kit.

From what I understand, Julio will put anyone's name on his kit... Whether it be "ECS", "A&A", "CAM", etc, etc.... Alky Control is the only kit to consider, IMO... And YES, call ECS and order it (no matter who really makes it)

Another vote for Julio. NO ONE has better customer service than he does.

Julio is the man! I bought my kit from ECS, same price so whatever floats your boat. Both offer great customer service.

I looked at these kits. I think they would work, but I think that the components and the quality of the Alkycontrol kits are far superior.

FWIW.. I went out today and did some pulls trying to source a wideband problem.

On 11.5 psi of boost with 88 degree outside temperature I did a pull with and without the alky.

Without the alky a pull through 3rd gear to 7000 rpm netted me an increase in IAT from ~88 to about 95 degrees F.

With the akly a pull through 3rd gear to 7000 rpm netted me a DECREASE in IAT from ~87 down to 72 degrees!!!!!

This is HUGE. I have not even started to add timing yet.

Meth is awesome...my IATs went from mid 80's down to 60's on a 70 degree day on an 1/8th mile run.
