AMS Alky kit

Is there a failsafe on this kit? Don't see anything about it on their website and haven't been able to find anything here. For those of you that have the kit, how do you like it?

It used to be pump size,(AMS larger) and one you can run strait meth thru (AMS), and the other you couldn't. That rule may or may not still apply. It was that way last year when I got mine.

There is a pressure switch that changes the activation led from red to green when 30psi has been reached so you know that the system is working properly. Also that circuit offers an output to trigger a input on a standalone or other limiting device

it is always a good idea to have a wide band when introducing an extra fuel source to your setup

A wideband guage should be one of the first items you buy for your car. It can be the difference between a blown engine or one that is out of tune and corrected.

Ok to spice it up a bit more why should I buy this kit say over the SMC or the Aquamist?

This output to trigger an input could you please explain?

Also why does your kit use a MAP sensor? If I already have one is it safe to allow the MAP sensor to output to 2 different sources. Will this drop the voltage or would it be ok?

I don't understand much about this Alky/Meth stuff but I need/want the horsepower and that's a way to do it after I do most of the bolt -ons. So I have heard about this Snowman or something Snow kit. I heard it is the best kit. Although I have most of my stuff from AMS and would like to stay with them. So how much Horsepower you think I wil push after I get one of these kits. Right now I have full Invidia Exhaust, HKS 272 cams,cam gears, AMS UICP, LICP AMS FMIC, small battery kit.
