Snow Methanol performance Kits
What is the best snow(meth) performance kit for a C5 with a centi-vortech blower?
Will I need to get another tune after the kit is installed?
Thankyou for any advice.

Of course you can, spray more water and less meth. The water cools the chamber and reduces egt's considerably and since water is not a fuel, you don't have to tune for it. Just water alone works wonders, buy everybody likes alot of meth, like 2-3 m15 nozzles for the horsepower and extra timing it allows. Nothing wrong with that, but I doesn't seem that is what you are looking for. So, to answer you question, yes Snow is just fine, and spray -20 washer fluid through a m10 nozzle, 4.77cents through McMaster Carr, and you will have extra safety and not much coin spent. I just figured I would try to answer your question without telling you to buy something else.

I also have the Snow kit and it works great. I installed mine at the same time I installed the A&A system. When I had it tuned I had the tuner set me up for a safe tune with the meth more for protection. I have had both installed and running great for almost two years. I installed the stage two snow system as I was not looking to make any adjustments on the fly.

I'm leaning towards the Alky Control Kit by ECS. Can i mix windshield washer fluid w 2-3 cans of Heat?(cheaper boost juice) or do i need to mix(exactly) 50/50 water/methanol? I probably don't want to run 100% Meth.
Thanks for your input!
