Rookie Questions
1. Where are you getting ignition power for your kits? I have the SMC kit and all of the power is provided through the controller. I don't want to directly connect the controller box to the battery and then need to manually flip a switch each time I get in the car. What is a good source for ignition power? (other than the lighter because I have a fuzz buster, wideband, boost controller, and boost gauge running off that. I imagine the pump draws quite a bit of current.
2. Have any of you taken extra steps to seal the hold in the IC pipe? The SMC kit uses a rubber washer and even after flattening the pipe the seal still isn't all that great. I was thinking RTV but hoping for a better solution.
3. What is the average max timing you guys run at 7k rpm in the 24psi area?
4. What AFR do you aim for?

You get the power from the in cabin fuse box #7 windshield wiper power with the adapter provided in the kit. If no adaptor was provided then go to your local pep boys and get an "add a circuit" for a full size 30 amp fuse and use the AC circuit. Odds are you wont be running AC at full boost anyway.
The SMC kit uses the rubber seal washer. Some have had better luck putting it on the outside instead of the inside. You could try to duplicate the piece and run one on both sides. If you use the correct drill bit 25/64" to drill the hole and use thread locker on the the nozzle threads you shouldn't have a problem. I imagine some JB Weld couldn't hurt either. Be sure to loctite the nozzle. One unfortunate soul had the engine ingest his nozzle and do alot of damage. I would seal the nozzle with blue RTV and the threads with blue loctite.
I wouldn't run more than 20* of timing if that. EVOs do not need alot of timing to make power. It is not a DSM.
I would run the same AFR you were running prior to the injection. Whatever you feel safe with because lambda is lambda. People that inject large quantities of meth run race gas afr of 12:1. Its risky but doable if you are okay with depending on the alchy as a fuel instead of a chemical intercooler.
