At this point I am recomending 50% denatured Alcohol and 50% water for liability and saftey reasons. A 50/50 mix is non flamable and totally safe in the event of an accident. Using your own mix is more reliable than windshield washer fluid - however - in a pintch it will work

ALL Alcohol kits at this point reuire full custom tuning as i am consnatly working to re-configure the jets with the manufactuerer. Once we have the final configuration arranged a library of base maps will develop over time.

100% methanol makes the most power - but should ONLY be used in a racing situation as IF you crash it can cause a fire.

Thanks! 50/50 it is. I'm AEM EMS so should I go ahead and tune this kit, or wait for the optimum nozzle with your developments?

That is one messed up statement and obviously you know nothing about how I or Al does business.

If all we were concerned with was making money we would have done nothing new. No new testing, accepted NO new ideas from customers. Al is actually responsible for most of the changes that have been incorporated. The kits as they were when we first started selling them were only able to use denatured alky in them. This is the way Buicks have run them for YEARS.

Upon requests of customers we worked with SMC, the manufacture of our kits and told him we'd like to see a pump that could sustain water or methanol without being damaged.

This is the reason for the kits being changed. NO A PROFIT or putting something on the market too fast.

The other changes have included going from a "generic" multiple use type bottle to an EVO specific bottle, changing where the pressure gauge is mounted for better visibility in the EVO, nozzle design for easier installation in the EVO.

No flame attempts Dave; I wanted clarity on why your alcohol kit has changed 5 times in less than 2 months. To me R&D is everything. You get what you pay for holds true for me. That was my point.

Yes,and the worst part about it is the fire that it causes you will not be able to see with the human eye,but it will burn just the same

All the new kits will accept any type of fluid in them. All new kits have the black pump.

I prefer methanol for tuning in the kits too. You can get a lot more power like this.
