I am wanting to get some opinions on what to put on my truck. I had water meth on my old fummins and really was let down with the performance change, but is nitrous safe for my daily driver? I have never used nitrous or really been around it personally. Seems like a lot of the local guys are using it. I also have read a lot about the CO2 kits too. My truck is a pretty mch stock 2005 6.0. I have a set of 190/50, powermax, studs, egr delete etc, 6.4 banjo bolts and a few other bolt ons.
Water Meth or Nitrous?

Nitrous can only be used at WOT...not gonna work for your daily commute...only for racing. I love my water injection. Been running it for 7 years
What water injection kit are you running? In your eyes what are the real world positives? I am only asking because I am interested as well.

Snows stage 2. Cooler egts and more power

you can use it at times other than WOT and helps with MPG alot....but.... its not economically practical.
Nitrous for the strip
water/meth for the street

Yeah you're right Matt...I was just looking at the most logical way nitrous is used. I haven't come across anyone or know anyone who uses nitrous that way on the street....it'd cost a fortune for sure.

Not planning to use it unless on track or dyno. I had the cool mist water meth hooked up with pressure switches at 10 lbs and 40 pounds of boost. I just couldn't tell a difference in power. My egts ran 200 degrees cooler.

Prob 40-50 hp. Someone dyno'd with and without and saw that gain. Im Sure they might check in.

I definitely noticed power increase with mine. Here's a little vid of mine in action. Notice the boost rise when it starts injecting. Pyro is the top gauge and boost in below it. Starts injecting around 15psi. When it started injecting at 15 psi I kept the throttle at the same spot without giving it more

In that vid boost went from 15psi to 30psi without giving it any more throttle and egts went from 1100 to 890. I love using it.

i have never thought about this stuff, but im guessing that egts might get a little out of hand with 205s and mtw stage 3, so i plan on getting into water/meth in the spring. can someone give me a little more info? i mean, i read the descriptions on the snow performance website, but would like to know a little more. how often does that reservoir need to be filled and what does it get filled with? and also at that point, would i have have to do other things to my truck like dual hpop? or are the power gains just kinda to help sell it? what i would be looking for is a drop in egt's. can anyone tell me a little more info on this?

I use winter blend windshield washer fluid...it has more meth than the summer blend. Setup takes some experimenting to find the right combination of nozzles and injection points. Other than that...its pretty straight forward and easy. Mine works great and does what its suppose to....increase in power and lowers egts.

you have dual nozzles right? what nozzles are you using and what two boost levels do they come in at?
