100% meth on snow performance kit?

As the title states, I just recently bought a stage 3 snow performance meth kit and everything i'm reading that came with the kit says to run a 50/50 mix of meth and water. Will the snow kit handle 100% meth?

Mainly for liability reasons..50/50 in not flammable
Yes you can run 100% I did it on my kit before switching to E85

Thanks for the quick response, you never had a problem with leaking from using 100%?

Sell it and buy a Alky Control kit. Those crappy lines in the snow kit aren’t optimal for 100% meth. At the very least change those to stainless. Had a few friends wise up and make the switch.

I've been hearing mixed reviews when it comes to both brands, but i decided on the snow kit because thats what the top shops in the country use (RPM said they wont even touch an alky kit).

There are a bunch of RPM’s and about only two good ones. Those I know work with Alky as well as all the big shops that actually make power and race.

Fran from race proven motorsports is who i spoke with, which if i had to put money on it have made faster cars than any of the shops you are referring to. No need to get emotional, i was asking a question and didnt need a "sell it" response.

I didn’t reference any shops actually. No emotions just trying to help out. If help isn’t what you’re seeking what’s the point of asking?????

For your question, I’m not much help as I run 100% M1 thru my Alky kit. However, I would recommend doing plenty of research on the shop that you specifically referenced BlackWidow.

Snow Performance is known more for their diesel setups. They are also known for leaking. I am running 100% meth through an AEM V2 setup w/upgrades (listed in my signature). They also do not recommend running anything over 50/50 mix. You will have to rebuild the pump more often and keep an eye on the push fittings unless you upgrade the lines and fittings. AEM did say that they test their kits on 100% meth, so it is doable, but not recommended, especially for street use.

I run the Devils Own system I use to have the Labonte kit but it never worked and piece by piece ended up changing all parts to Devils own they have a nice controller and it is small you can mount in between the speedo and tach and know when you are spraying with the lights and stay away from the push to connect tubing, an fittings and stainless lines are a must if you dont want leaks
