Exclamation Best and Safest Alky Kit?

I am interested in buying an meth injection kit and I want to know which kit is the best for making power, however, I need the reliability and safety for a daily driven car.
Taken that I have reinforced head with a better seal, arp headstuds, fuel pump.

Thanks for any input.

I have the SMC kit and have never had a problem in over 3 years.

I also read good things about the aquamist kit

My SMC kit has worked for the last couple years without any issues roadracing, dragracing, Autocrossing. No failsafe though. They should all make the same power. It just depends on the nozzles and tuning.

I have the SMC (Buschur) kit - reliable product and most importantly the service is excellent.
I have had mine since late 05 and it has 20k miles between street and track.

I had one issue, a bad ground - IT WAS MY FAULT - and the system quickly alerted me of an issue. The issue was diagnosed over the phone and took 30 seconds to resolve.

The best and safest alky kit's are the ones installed with due care and have been tuned reasonably. I have seen some alcohol systems that total more in costs than a brand new OEM shortblock built to spec. It doesn't matter how advanced and precise the kit is an engine will go if tuned and used poorly

Aquamist, hands down, has the best failsafe system on the market. Also costs the most, though. Make sure you get a failsafe. TTP has Zietronix widebands which can monitor the A/F and trigger a relay failsafe if your alcohol kit fails and your A/Fs go lean. Either way, make sure you have a failsafe.
