If you do a search for words like "methanol" and "methanol injection" you'll get a TON of info on this topic!!!

I have an Alky Control system. Its not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Another cool thing is I gave them a call with some specific questions and they took the time out of the day to explain everything. Top notch customer service and products.

Great! I know a lot of members forget about the search function. It's a fairly powerful tool! It seems like Meth is just about all we've talked about the last 6 months!

I use AIS kits. They are SOOO easy to install and work perfect. Thats what we use on our 8 sec C6Z. They have a power,ground and a vacuum line to hook up unlike the alky control kits which are a pain to install compared to the AIS kit.

The Alky Control kit has too much to get you in trouble. Its a fantastic product, but overly complicated. We use a Snow kit, always in stock, easy to install ( a few wires, vac line, and an LED) and tuning is a snap!

It is also possible to turn on an Alky control kit before you see boost, which, for a novice, can be very bad!

I got my AlkyControl kit from Dallas Performance. It wasnt the cheapest but many people on this board use it with no problems.

I didnt find it hard to install at all and it was my first time to install one.

I've been happy with my Alky Control kit. I could see how people find it difficult when following their corvette instructions. I read through all of it, and decided to just run a relay like they mentioned was rarely needed. This made it very simple IMO.

Gotcha,

I personally do not care for plastic lines etc. It does cost a bit more to produce a kit with stainless braided hose and brass fittings etc, but it's going into a Vette, not a Honda, our customers will only get top shelf or I would rather not have the sale.
