Default Methanol Injection Unit

I bought a corvette with A&A SC and a Coolingmist methanol injection system. A gauge and min/max controls are installed where the ash tray was. I gather these controls are for the methanol system. Anyone know anything about them or where and how they should be set? I have methanol in the tank but not sure anything is functioning.

Go to coolingmist web site and download the instructions for the controller, the min max ***** are to set the desired boost on off settings.

Greg taking your advice and contacting the Coolingmist people. Their website was not really helpful.

Gregg - I do not have the vcII controller - I have the CMGS Controller and fail safe. Here is a picture of that unit. When I set min or max the gauge just returns to zero and reads 0.0 through the run.

http://www.coolingmist.com/instructions/cmgsfs.pdf

the VC-2 and the CMGS follow the same procedure to get it set up, that link will tell you how to use it, also there are youtube vids as well.

Greg - I down loaded the pdf file you linked to and it is slightly different than the one I was looking at. With the car running the gauge in the ashtray reads 0.0. When I adjust the min *** it moves as you would expect; but. quickly returns to zero. Then I set the max *** the same way and after a few seconds it returns the readout to 0.0 also, Then i get on the car pretty good but the gauge reads 0.0 all the way through. I am totally ignorant about the meth/water injector. The meth/water tank has fluid but the dyno hp has fallen about 50 hp.
