ECS/Alky Methanol Kit Arrived
I wanted to post a quick few pics for the several people who have asked for specific pics of the Alky C7 kit that ECS sells (and from what I understand, actually developed for them).
So, here are a few pictures - sorry there aren't more detailed pics at the moment (I made sure to include the list), but my time is extremely short right now.
This time last week I was on Doug's case (jokingly, of course) about prodding Julio to get my Alky kit shipped out, and now I can barely bring myself to take a break from writing my grandfather's obituary to open the box and take a few pics.
Once everything is back to 'normal' with myself and my family, I'll get an installation thread going on it in case it will help out people on the fence about installing meth.

Sorry about your Grandfather Sean. I have this kit in a box but no instructions came with it. I got some pictures from Chris at ECS and a reference 5th gen Camaro instruction from Don Julio at Alky Control. I just dread having to take the front fender off to install it. I have an appointment to get dynoed today at 4

I'm 99% sure that this can be done without removing the fender. It's a tight squeeze, but I've been up in there for hours wiring other stuff, and there looks like plenty of room around the washer tank.
I still haven't seen the instructions so I'm not entirely sure, but removing the driver's side fender won't get you much more access than what we have with the fender cover dropped.
I guess Doug could chime in about if it's actually required.

Thanks, guys. 
I'm adding it to widen the safety buffer on the tune with pump gas. I'm using Torco additive with 93 at the moment to bring it up to 95/96, but that's getting expensive.
Running meth also allows you to crank up the boost a bit, so long as the internals will hold together...

I could use a few more directional pictures to really get a good grasp on some of these locations. The pump mount has me a bit stumped at the moment, and I'm going to try to rig a small washer fluid tank in the midst there to keep washer fluid control (which isn't helping the space constraints).
