Universal failsafes?

I have an SMC kit and will be installing an upgraded Shurflo pump, I really want some form of a failsafe for the car in case I ever have an issue. I like Labonte's failsafes but I dont know if they'd be compatible.

Aquamist still makes the DDS3 system which is a very nice setup. It consists of the turbine flow sensor, control box and gauge. If you are interested and have any questions let us know.

The failsafe he ^ is refering to is a great unit to add to any failsafe kit...aquamist is the best in the biz...and if you are looking for a cheap failsafe...I actually have one of the DDS3V10 that I'm looking to sale...I believe they retail for around 300 if I remember correctly, it's a gently used unit that I have...and I'd let it go for $150 shipped...PM me if you're interested and I'll send you some pics and we can discuss it more...

I run a SMC kit with a DDS3 V10 integrated with Tephra Altmaps & ECU boost control...It works very well!

Most are universal. Another additional nonconventional means of engine safety is the method of redundancy, like two seperate systems running simultanously. This is how I have it set now and like it thus far. One system with a LaBonteMotorsports IFS that senses flow axially, pump, MAP controller, and two nozzles (one sprays into the compressor via solenoid). The other system consist of just a digital demand pump, 3 more nozzles, and is powered by a hobbs. Very simple but reliable.

Best way to approach what you want to do is on paper (lsd optional)

That alot of nozzles! How do you know how much you are spraying at any time? Where do you put the other 5 nozzles? Also, you must have quite alot of plumbing for all those nozzles. The redundancy principle (backup) sure sounds good but the added complexity (more things to go wrong) sounds bad. I mean 6 nozzles is alot of extra stuff to fail or clog, etc....?
