AEM meth kit questions.

ATM I have n AEM EMS sitting in my room to be installed and im in the market for a meth kit.. ive narrowed it down to the SMC kit, or the new AEM kit. Althou i havent seen that many results from searching about the AEM kit.. it seems to be good stuff.. And since its n aem product it might work with my AEM EMS better than the SMC kit.

Heres the think, I plan on running 100% meth, and plan on having the meth injection set relativly high (spray @ about 10psi depending on what my tuner says) this way the meth isnt spraying all the time while i daily drive the car. But I just read this on the nolimitmotorsports website abou tthe AEM kit, which is the basis of this thread. "Alcohol Compatible (up to 50% in solution with water)" When they say Alchohol arent they basically saying meth? And if I plan on running 100% meth will the AEM kit not work properly or something?

Which of the two in my situation would you choose?

Thanks alot

-Chris

there is a lot of information in our WAI forum regarding

-shurflo pump(everyone else) vs flojet pump(smc)

-on/off vs. progressive pump speed vs. IDC based injection

spend a bit more time reading....and asking questions

If you want to get the most out of you meth kit- running 100% meth is the best thing to do.

SMC pumps can't handle 100%- only 50%
And the failsafe is crap! Oh wait what failsafe

majority of my friends who run SMC kit, run it 100% without a problem, for a year or more.. as for failsafe, im going to maybe wire the SMC into my AEM EMS and have some sort of failsafe on there.

Im also going to be running an m15 nozzle with it

plus hes giving it to me for only about 275, i cant go wrong on the price!

the flojet pump on the smc is methanol resistant....whats killing them is....they are not designed to pump at high pressure....ie methanol injection
