Can someone with ANY meth kit give me dimensions for the water meth container?

Not the factory WW tank but any aftermarket. Since I am pondering DP's and now possibly meth kit, looking for another location to install. I have idea but need dimensions.

Also, as comparison or contrast is it better or easier to buy LMS kit and have tunes from them or purchase (from Torrie) or snow performance along with new tuner and tune files? Does either kit have advantages over other when on the sauce?

Want to see if I can squeeze it inside Airaid box. Is there other reasons why this would be bad idea?

If you go with the Snow kit beside to get at least stage 2 and a progressive controller. Also get a fail safe like the one Alky has so you know at a glance that it's all working as it should. I plan to go with the Alky Control kit from LME... Simplicity, experience, and it is the kit on the fastest SHO as well as the most powerful SHO on record. Mike's went 3 years on a DD before the pump diaphragm needed replacement. The cost is higher though. Not sure how it would balance out with changing tuners and tuning companies... Might be close to a wash after it's said and done.

I don't have the dimensions, but a phone call or email should get them... All the pics look like it will fit in the space created by my MDesign CAI as well as having a support platform already there and ready access to power for the pump. I believe that a secondary reservoir can be added to any system.

I like the Alky Control kit because of the progressive control of meth pump. Could be partially why there pumps last longer. But if my math is correct, I have 3 chooses.
1. Buy from LMS $900 (includes tunes)
2. Buy direct from Alky control ($700) Not sure if LMS will offer tunes as system not purchased from them. If not +$500 for tuner
3. Buy Snow performance (or other) ($475 kit + $500 tuner)

Then I still need to find someone to install. ($400-$1000) But if my idea for using Airaid box would work, I would try installation myself. I THINK!

I will check tomorrow, but was also thinking that if I can install bottle in the box, there may also be room to add 2nd bottle. Possibly behind front grill. Not sure but the elevation may become problematic. But will take a look.

Considering driving to Phoenix to get help and install from Mike. May also have DP's installed then. All money related at that point.

Your idea is to install the tank or the injectors in the air raid box?

He wants to put the take inside the airaid box. I'm not sure if I'd want that small of a tank. I go though about a gallon a week so it's nice having a large tank.

Gotcha. Yea, that would be small. But the popular thought is putting a tank that location (replacing the box with a tank), and using the MDesign intake for the space saving design.

You will be constantly refilling that small tank.

What a royal PITA.

Move the battery to trunk and install tank there maybe?

That's not a bad idea. Especially now that there is an aftermarket intercooler available, but requires removing of the washer fluid aka meth tank.

We were talking maybe move the battery for a spot for a CAI box to get even runs to the turbos individually and then the spot left in front of that for the meth.

What about a tank in the trunk?  Alcohol Injection Systems makes a nice trunk tank kit.

I got a 1 gallon AEM tank and a pump installed on the driver side in front of the wheel and behind the bumper cover. I'm also using the AEM progressive controller.

That works also, but there is additional cost involved to put tank in trunk.  But probably better than cluttering up an already cluttered engine bay.

I use a 2qrt tank and I only use about 1qrt a week in spirited street driving. Which work to about 6 pass at the drag strip.
