What are the drawbacks? don't see many guys run it. I would think the benefits of lower egt's would make it more popular.

How come more don't use water/meth?

Are you thinking of getting some before Blackout?
drawbacks = you have to buy meth and maybe water...
Other then that I have not seen anyone say anything bad about it unless you put way too much or don't have it set up right.
It is on my list of things I need as #2. (#1 is do the trans)

put mine on at about 125,000 miles.
wish i would have done it about 100,000 earlier

Not sure why. Good stuff, even just straight water. I don't see much MPG, but Can feel the HP increase. Kills my cruse control. When it kicks in truck will definatelly pull harder, then over speed adn then slows down. Need to adjust my injection for towing differently then empty driving. Need that large under bed tank!!! The factory resivour is only like 1.5 gallons. In bed tanks don't work since I have a truck camper that takes the whole bed.
TI am looking at it strictly for lowering egts
thats a good excuse i mean reason for me to get twins
Not sure why either
I guess some people like seeing the Egt gauge pegged. :rofl:

I don't see any info or threads on it, so I don't know a lot about how people control it.
I want to use it but I don't want tanks and other wiring around in my truck. I would rather use the winshield wiper tank.

just about all kits can use the windshield tank. But no matter what you will have some wiring and tubes.
Need to get the trans done first. Then I might, but I need to learn a lot more about its affects on timing and CP.
how low are you looking for? i would've thought that with your twins they would already be very low?
I hoping to get my egts down low enough that i can sell ice cubes on the side.:rofl:
really, i'd like the same meth kit on my van but either i cant justify the cost or i'm too cheap.
I'm thinking about making a meth injection for he van. all you need is a nozzel, some line, tank, and a push button switch (edit- doh, dont forget a pump) for a simple DIY meth injection setup. it wouldn't be as nice as the snow stage 3 mpg/max or a labonte kit, but it would get the job done a lot cheaper.

I installed the Labonte Kit a month or so ago, and have only ran straight water. I do notice a power drop when just injecting straight water but I'm sure with a little meth in there, it would be better.
I find it helps keep egt's in check when towing, but from what I can tell, so far I think it is just a band aid. When I run hot tunes, it slows down how fast it heats up, but it doesn't stop it completely. The only true way to do that is to get more air in.
As far as power adders go, I think it is one of the safer and better ways to do this-especially for the money. When you have an auto controlled system like the Labonte, it takes a lot of the mystery and concern away.

Also, I DO NOT reccomend using WW fluid. After seeing lotsofmiles' oil sample results on TDP, I agree with him that the best stuff you can put in your engine is distilled water and 99% pure meth. These are the only two things I would use.
I personally use the reverse osmosis water that you can buy in the 5gal jugs for water coolers-not sure if this is the best or not but it is not supposed to have any of the shit in it that tap water and ww fluid both have in them. FYI, most WW fluid companies just use tap water.

just sent in the latest sample. switched back to distilled and changed the oil. ran another 5000 and sampled it. should have the results back any day.
I'm really hoping that lead or copper (cant remember right now) that showed up running wws was from the pipes at the wws bottling plant.
the other thing i didnt like about wws was this,
i would take the wws gallon jugs and dump the wws into a clear 5 gallon water cooler type bottle. as you fill the 5 gallon you start getting more and more soap bubbles! peaks wws MSDS doesn't say it has soap in it, but it was soap bubbles!
What's the deal with not using wwf? And btw I have no complaints about my w/m..
run an oil analysis on your truck spray in distilled waterand meth. then do another analysis spraying in wws.
or look over at 'the place' for my 3 oil analysis posted.
tap water brought contaminates like sodium and magnesium into the oil. so did wws.
after i get the latest analysis back i'm going to post a new thread with all the reports together. i post it here too.
I believe you. But why is it important?
