This is a classic question and here is a classy answer from ECS...

"Both are great kits. Cant go wrong with either of us. Suggest calling and speaking with both companies. Any questions let me know..

Chris ECS 609-752-0321

Andy A&A 805-278-4107"



On methanol - most run either 50/50 or 100% (esp. for extreme boost, your pump needs to be able to handle the corrosion and 100% is very flammable).

My car is set up exactly like what you are talking about.

I run the A&A kit at 7 lbs, and the AIS trunk mount Meth kit.

And love it

Go with straight Methanol!

It's not going to get used up all at once, it will take a lot of running under b@@ST to use up a tank of Meth!

IMHO I always go with straight Methanol!

Thanks,Matt

Meth filling depends on how much you like to beat on her, anway meth lasts for a little while like every 5th-6th fill up.
