Thanks for posting the link to their site! I hadn't checked it out in a long time!

They have a controller that will cut the timing and turn on a red light if the fluid is low. They also have a float swith that will turn on a light if its low, which would be way cheaper and do the trick for me. $25 for 4gal of "Boost juice" seems pretty cheap!! I would run that especially since I don't daily drive it. So it took you a 5 months to go through 4 gal?

Also they say that every kit now comes with a "new and improved pump" for no extra charge!!

Yeah, I bought 4 gallons of boost juice when I put the kit on it in early July, and I was pretty much out by the time I put the car away right after Thanksgiving.

I am pretty sure I am using the medium nozzle that came with the kit, so it would go quicker if you needed to use a larger nozzle.
I have mine set up to start spraying at 2 PSI of boost, and then the pump will be full on at about 10 PSI.

As much as I would like to turn up the boost, I figure I need to stay where I am at on the stock bottom end. I am making about 10 lbs of boost off of the Vortech kit with an AFM power pipe.
I am pretty sure the pulley size is a 3.33" blower, and 6.87" crank pulley.

The power gains were all from the meth kit and adding only a couple degrees to my base timing. I know that I could have gotten some more horse power out of it, but I'll wait till I get a stronger block for that. I don't want to push my luck too far.

Well I have a Sportsman block with girdle, so I am not so worried about the block. I get a lil bit of blow-by though, so I think it'll be the oil rings that go first.

I also have 9.5:1 compression so I am trying to figure out how to run 12-14psi and methanol. Should be good for 500+rwhp and hopefully safe.

I was thinking about using a 7 or 7.5" crank pulley and leave the blower alone @ 3.33", that way I dont risk belt slippage.
