Default Meth Kit suggestions?

Going to install my supercharger in a few weeks and want to install the meth system at the same time. Looking for suggestions on systems that you have had success with or ones to avoid. The shop that is going to tune the car for me suggest snow performance based on their system having more programming options available.

BTW I am installing the Vortec SC purchased from A&A.

Thanks in advance for any recommendations that I can research.

The most popular on here is AIS and Alky control, both are nice kits with the Alky control kit coming with better part standard but costs more and the AIS kit can be upgraded but starts out cheaper. I personally run the AIS kit but both kits are good.

We always recommend the ECS/Alky Control kit on our installs. Cost is a bit more than some of the others but in my opinion is worth it.

I can attest that Julio, with Alky Controls, continues to provide top-notch service 18 months after I purchased his system. I recommend him to EVERYONE!

btw, just to answer a question I have been pm'd about several times. The Alky control kit was "dubbed" the ECS alky control kit years ago because we worked with Julio to make the C5 kit, before there was a C5 kit. Lengths of hoses, where to install, bringing it to the Corvette market, that sort of thing.
Julio is the electrical master mind behind what we feel is hands down the best alky kit on the market today, we are his main distributor of the C5/C6 kit. We have them in stock at nearly all times, and can offer tuning advice along with the sale.

I can remember the first post we put up about meth injection and it's benefits, very few even knew what the heck it was! Now it's a main stream product, pretty cool!
