i have been contemplating this for a while now because it safer than nitrous and considerably cheaper
anyone on here done this or know someone that has?
I have only read of people running meth kits with superchargers. I have not read anything thus far of anyone just useing meth on an other wise NA LS1.
I'm subcribibg to this
sounds good i have to make a few calls to a couple of guy to see what i can come up with as far as answers etc. but i know its mandatory on high performance turbo cars but i figured WTH not try it on my car
We used the Snow Stage III kit on our 9 second Lightning. It definitly does work as far as lowering intake temps. You will need a retune because it richens you up by about a point. (12.9 goes to 11.9). Theyre pretty simple to install. But i dont see the need for it on an N/A car. You use them on forced induction because when you compress air it gets hot. N/A cars usually just get hot intakes from heat sink. Pull your intake off and put a sheet of heat reflective material between the intake and valley. it does make a significant difference. We took the intake off our 2011 5.0 to put a sheet under it and the engine was warm at the time and just with your hand you could feel the difference of how much heat was rising off the valley with and without the sheet.
i see i may just try it and see what i can come up with
If you get it buy the stage 3 snow kit because it comes with the controller. You can make it so it only kicks on a a certain injector load, boost level, or throttle position.
I wonder how much it would really do for an NA motor though?
Havent seen one on a N/A motor but would like to know how good it works. subscribing :drivin:
what would be a good place to get that? so i know how much $$$ im looking atQuote:

You will have to lean out the tune and add timing to get the most out of it... so, you'll need a tuner and dyno...
just google Snow Performance Stage 3 and look at prices from some of those places. theyre about 700-750 for gas engines. but theres much better ways to gain power for you since you arent boosted and arent sure if there are gonna be gains at all. it seems like alot of money to gamble on it you ask me.Quote:

yeah thats true its more worth it to save up a little more money and just put a h/c set up i know i would be more impressed with that in the long runQuote:

i'd reccommend the e-85 kit if you dont already have it its like 2.25 per gallon down here
I wish E85 was more available in the Atlanta area. I would be in the high 700s myself. If you go back and forth between 93 and E85, it really screws with your tune. Things can happen. So if you go E85, you'll need to hold the path, unless you are able to re tune with you laptop on the spot.
yeah and that starts to be a bitch after awhile but if it starts to become avaliable more i would say go for itQuote:

I searched about it because I will be running a S/C.
