For anyone looking into Snow's Meth kit..

[VenomInside]

There is a good article in sept 05' edition of 5.0 on page 97-106. They do an install, test and tune etc.. Just thought i would share.

I will scan it and put it up for you all to see.

If you scan it that would rock... I don't get 5.0 anymore...

scanning..

Here..

The test was done on a 04 comp orange Cobra.. w/ a whipple and some other mods..

The gains [if u look @ the dyno chart] were 66.12

The Snow meth injection kit is such an attractive simple idea. Kudos to Snow Performance for marketing a great idea.

Thanks Mike!


Hmmmm. Me wants.

Thanks Mike!


Hmmmm. Me wants.

No prob Hope the pictures are not to big

Yea, i want this too.. Do i smell a group purchase a brewin'?

 

[Mystic Terminator]

That looks sweet, thanks for the scan Mike. How much does it cost? Any downside to using it other than another consumable to purchase?

Mike (1MeanGT) has this set up right?

Snow kits are great kits. The problem I have seen (remember I'm not the most techinally knowledgeable so I may be wrong) is that the intake temp on most bolt on 03/04 cobras is not high enough to get the advertised gains. When you see a car with 200+ intake temps the kit will be awesome. The new cobras have awesome heat exchangers for the most part stock and temps I think average in the 110 range. These kits can only knock so much off that number to make gains. I have never seen a near stock cobra or heard of one making the kind of gains the magazine makes. On a vorteched car I have seen a 70rwhp gain but the cars intake temps were way higher than a mostly stock cobra. Its just what I have seen so far, right or wrong.

 

[VenomInside]

Yes, mike [1meangt] has it and it costs around 400 if i am not mistaken..

$399. Mike has the kit on his car and probably gets the great gains he does because he doesn't have an intercooler.

1badass96GT is right in that the Cobra has a very effective intercooler, but IAT2 temps can range in the mid 150-160 range after a pull or two on the street. I'd guess 35-50 rwhp if you got a good tuner to take full advantage of the unit.

I think it "might" be a better investment to buy the Snow kit rather than upgrade the H/E.

 

[Flatliner]

But can you or would you want to use it in conjunction with NOS, or is that just a bomb waiting to happen??

What do you think about using it w/o a tune and just keeping the timing stock? Will it lower IAT2 temps to help an engine not to overheat on a hot day of tracking? That is the problem I have @ the track, I go into limp mode and I have stock pulley and Gords H/E...

You would get a cooler intake charge but I'm not sure if a tune would be necessary even if you don't up the timing. Maybe you could give Snow a call and ask them?

I'm not sure what triggers "limp mode" (I suspect it's a combination of readings), but if IAT2 is a culprit, yes it would help.

This is exactly what I was thinking ????? If you could use it to cool the intake charge as well as provide a higher octane level to ward off detonation without tuning ?????

What if I told you I saw a car on a dyno and they COULD NOT get it to work???
It's true, and I think it's because if the intake temps as mentioned before, I don't know, but if I can tell the story correctly I will, it's just that right now I don't know why, or if the problem was resolved.

All I can say is read my last post again....perhaps then you will understand it, but I can't be sure.

so basically dennis, they could not find a way for it to work. But in which way, mechanically or for it to actually prove useful?

What I heard was it was "ineffective" which is why I reffered to the possibility of the IAT not being hot enough to be effective. I am waiting for an email and permission to elaborate now.

I only started this to keep us informed since I want one also, but I think nitrous would be better, just using a 50 shot most of the time and then having a tune with a 100 shot for that one Ahole I may need it for.

i heard that our temps do not reach the amont of heat needed to actually gain/cool anything for it to be worth while.. they say its better to run nitrous or get a aftermarket HE.

Enquiring minds want to know. Is the kit a Fizzle or is it the Foshizzle? :foshizzle
