Its up to the buyers........I think the end of this week would be good but again it can go past that if those already involved would like it to go further.

Theres a delay on one of the kit components right now.....the flow sensor. I think the USA warehouse will be restocked from the UK with these and be ready to ship by early next week.

On a side note heres a thread with images of what a SRT owner came up with to mount dual tanks and the pump to a rear strut bar.

Heres just one image

So far no one on the SRT forum. I'm going to bump the GB thread on that forum to see if we can get a couple. I'm going to PM the original people over there who wanted in on the original GB to see if they want back in on this one.

If anyone would rather note post up here but would like in on this GB, send me your full contact info to jackblalock(AT)gmail.com. I have a couple of people who have shown interest in this manner and I'm waiting on responses.

I might get in on this, sounds like a great deal, esp. since it comes w/a tank!

Just curious, I see Al from Dynoflash is talking about one that costs $900.

Is this the same kit at GB price? or is that some completely other kit?

Naj, that should be the HFS-5 that Al is talking about. The HFS-1 is easy to upgrade to the HFS-5 for $295 and can be added to your order with the group buy. At the group buy price, thats still cheaper than retail PLUS you get a tank with your order.

See post #12

If you look around a little you will find some threads that show some HFS-5 installs. Al's post shows screen captures of his Dyno pulls (VERY impressive by the way). If you are looking for a great price for the HFS-5, get in on this GB and get the HFS-5 upgrade at the same time = probably the lowest price you will see in a very LONG time unless buying a used kit.

The $900 price (actually $895.00) for the HFS-5 does initially seem like a lot, but not so much when you actually compare hardware quality and kit/component features. Rather then go into a lot of details of why a W/A injection kit can be this much, this kit is WAY above and beyond what can be purchased elsewhere.......theres no better or more advanced W/A kit on the market!!

aqmist, I currently have another W/A kit. Can I reuse the braided line I have already run?

We have fittings that screw into the flow sensor so it can be used with kits having braided lines. Typically these fittings are sent to DDS3 buyers that already have a W/A kit setup with braided lines and just want the DDS3.

If you're looking into keeping the existing lines but replacing the rest of the existing kit I'll need to review this a little more. First thing comes to mind is that the jets are barbed for 4mm lines = at some point you'll need to switch over to the 4mm line to hook up the Aquamist jets. Second is the filter between the tank and the pump, this is designed for use with 6mm lines and is a compression type connection.

If you would really like to keep the braided line and have it running from the trunk to under the hood I think things could work without too much fuss. If you do not want ANY plastic line along with quick connects that hook up......might be a little problematic.

So you know, I have not heard of or seen anyone that has had an issue using the supplied lines that come with the Aquamist kits. You could run these lines within another line such as a fuel line to help prevent chafing or to add an amount of safety but I do not see the need to do this for the entire system.

On my car I used the supplied lines and ran the lines from the rear to the front using the factory fuel line clip/holders. Nearer to the engine compartment I used some short lengths of fuel line at some spots just to protect the line from rubbing.

IMO keep the lines from dangling really lose and obviously away from high heat = thousands of installs have been done without issues, its just like anything else that you can do, rush or get sloppy and you can have issues, not use common sense and you can have a failure.
