Torrie did my tunes. I think he said his tunes add up to 60hp to the wheels. Will a water meth kit really give me that much of a gain?
I believe it. I would trust Torrie. He definitely knows what he's talking about.

I'm not arguing what Torrie told me. I could tell I gained a lot the second I drove it. What I'm asking is could I really gain 60 to the wheels with a meth kit? How safe are these kits?

I mean if these kits a are safe and I can get upwards of that much power I'll buy one  and get a before and after dyno done. Anybody have that snow stage 3??

40 -60 would be my guess with the benefit of a safer operating environment and clean valves.

Yup,  I gained 10hp just spraying meth,  no tune. Gained right around 50hp total at the wheels after the meth tune.

I've got the Snow Stage 2 kit. I'm not sure if anyone here is running the Stage 3 kit. If they are,  I must have missed it.

Looking back I wish I would've done meth before downpipes,  but it all worked out in the end.

I have the stage 3 snow kit. It's not totally installed yet.  I didn't want to use my washer fluid tank so I am mounting the tank and pump inside the front bumper and I bought the fill res. from alcohol injections along with a #10 nozzle. I have a flex by the way. Not sure if there is a huge diff between the 2 and 3. But it's nice to have the controller on my steering column and read the boost there and can adjust it on the fly. I also have DP's waiting too. Just haven't had much time lately :-(

Is the stage 3 for DI cars now also?  At this time last year, it was for EFI only.

N/M, found the DI product page:
http://www.snowperformance.net/Stage-3-Boost-Cooler-Water-Methanol-Injection-Kit-p/320.htm
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

methanol just increase the detonation capabilities of gasoline...in other words, when using it, you can add additional timing that you otherwise couldnt.

Thanks for the info guys it's looking more and more like that's the route I'll go. Just as long as it won't blow my car up haha. Still can't believe how much downpipes cost!

And in the case of the fuel challenged 3.5, it also adds fuel enrichment.

correct, methanol is fuel. which is why you have to be careful with it, if your supplemental fuel system has an issue, you instantly go lean.
