If you're looking for a vendor on here that carries them, Modern Automotive Performance has sold a lot of these things and can do pretty competitive pricing if you PM them. I WANT an HFS-3 kit extremely bad! But I'm going to wait. First turbo, then alky on this car. Still, stock turbos on alky are FUN FUN FUN!

If it is available to you, go E85. I have E85 ALL around me but not NEAR me, it sucks. I drive the car too much to deal with driving 10 miles out of my way to fill up each tank. That's why I've stuck with alky for so long! If there was a station near my house or work....different story

the HFS6 (and i guess HFS3) has a flow meter, which if underflows (ie blocked jet, pump dieing, etc) or overflows (ie burst pipe, etc) will trigger the failsafe.
combine that failsafe with my ECU map switching and you have a pretty bullet proof system...
not unless your thinking of something else?

"motor goes boom" - only if you tune for meth. If you add meth to your non-meth tune, you will still gain HP, just not the max. Appreciate that meth is the ultimate IC for you will be below ambient temps.
An option would be to have a Cobb AP w/ two maps - non-meth and meth tune and in the event of a failure switch.
PS - here in Florida when we get a cold day, everyone's non aspirated car feels extra frisky (i.e. strong). Perhaps you have felt the difference between your summer and winter months ? running meth w/ a non-meth tune - it will always be winter.

1. You can run multiple maps on a stock ECU.
2. Throwing meth at a car without tuning it will not magically increase HP.
3. Meth isn't to decrease ambient temps, it's to reduce how prone the fuel is to detonation.

The only issue, I have with meth kits and I own a meth kit on my other car. Is that they generally do fail. If they do fail at WOT... most failsafes won't do too much. Since the engine is revving so fast.
However, coupled with Tephra mods, it might be the saving grace. I dunno, time will tell. But I seen and heard Aquamist kits fail as well... nothing is bullet proof really.

anything can fail but properly monitored and set up meth/wi is not as dangerous as people try to make it out as. i blame it on the kits like AEM that say they have a fail safe but it only detects pump failures
Aquamist, coolingmist and possibly snow performance are the only 3 i know of that have flow based fail safes that should be used. the other kits are a gamble if **** does go wrong.
