On a side note, when you decide on your final selection... photo the install and time it. It would be good to know for others going down this path.

Ok but it will be a little while before I'm ready.
I put up this post because a snowperformance unit was up on eBay and I wanted some information.
There wasn't much posted on the boards after doing a search.
Called TPiS today and they're sending out my longtubes that use standard 3/8 by 3" manifold bolts instead of the usual tiny torture header bolts like all the others.I'm gonna weld in the emissions fittings myself and get them ceramic coated here locally. They have the best fit and ground clearance of all the available longtubes.
While putting them in may as well do the valve seals(100.000 miles) 1.6 roller tipped rockers and new springs.
After getting that all sorted out and the custom dual cat y-pipe to clear the GV OD done, it will be time to install the Powerdyne 6psi setup with the Methanol Injection. I like the idea of using the stock windshield washer bottle for space and capacity considerations.
Should be sweet when its all done for this street only daily driver.
Congratulations to whomever bought that huge intercooler I passed on.

I like the idea of modifying the windshield wiper bottle too... I'm just a bit concerned about rear-ending someone with a tank of methanol up front

I went with the alkyl control kit... I payed for it right now.. it costed me 486 with the tank already modified.. $100 alone there ...

This pump is not as tough as the kennedys one but the PAC sold me... Having a progressive system is neat... And I think its worth it.. I got the alkyl control from other websites actually...

Actually.. I had forgotten about the kennedys guys...

Anyways... I'll see how it goes.. not a cheap mod

I hope its worth it with the aftercooler in combo.

The new Evo's have a sprayer built in from the factory that uses the windshield washer fluid as an intercooler cooler. It is pretty sweet, you can turn it on when you want or have it on "automatic".

I actually helped julio design the f-body kit (using the windshield washer bottle and the routing of the lines and lengths and stuff like that). My car can be called the guinea pig =) The kit is designed very well and garunteed there is no better kit for the f-body (or in general). Julio designs and builds all the controllers and honestly, his progressive controller is far superior to any others in the same market.

I actually talked to you (highlander) a while back about buying a kit but you didn't seem interested haha. Anyway Julio is a real cool guy. I actually distributed the f-body kits for him for a while but I got too busy with school and work. If any of you camaroz28'ers need a kit I can handle it personally with Julio, haven't talked to him in a while and it will be good to chop it up with him again.

Anybody ever try to see if it will run off some 100 proof??? Just kidding, don't try it either haha!

I may be interested in a kit, especially if i can use the windshield washer bottle :-)

Still doing my research on the topic, but definitely seems like a good idea, if i decide on doing it ill let ya know and maybe you can help me with it. Thanks!

I bought a kit from 96 WS6 for $450.00
It looks very good Omar but I haven't gotten around to instaling it yet.
Soon the S/CH is going on so then we'll see.

Cool man, let me know when you get around to installing it if you have any questions or anything like that. I'm not sure when you bought it but I have a 5 or 6 page install write up incase you don't have it...
