| BTW the only info I can give you my car is that it made 480somethin HP and about the same torque on the dyno with the alky. I never blew a headgasket and it was a daily driver. I eventually wiped out a few rod bearings on a later dyno visit which include some real bad backfires and overrevving on 3 dyno runs. The backfires were assumed to be rich pop. Never had a problem off the dyno though. Alky is on the new ATK motor and everything seems fine so far but I have the boost dialed back to 23psi now. I'm thinking of adding about 75 smaller sized nozzles with a corresponding number of pressure switches to make it more of a "progressive system". Do you think that will be cost effective?

| First off, both Julio and Steve are great guys, both do the alky thing differently and both are probably the IT guys for DIY and Progressive alky. Tomcat, your ? is the exact reason why you need to go with an SMC or PAC kit and not a DIY. You seem new to alky injection and due to this reason solely I would recommend going with the PAC or SMC and not the DIY route. In the long run, spending the extra $250 will be cheap insurance on you NOT blowing up your motor by making a mistake on the DIY. For those who are more electronically inclinded, DIY would make a lot more sense. For guys like me that do not want or probably could put together a DIY and blow my motor up, I will leave it to guys like Julio and spend the extra $250. And the DIY could be tuned to elimate bog and transitional knock, but the prog alky kit pretty much solved that asap with the turn of a knob for the newbie, which Tomcat you seem to fit this bill also. Great for guys like me that want to get it wired up and boosting.  By the way, I got both you guys ( Razor and Steve ) involved with DSM's and making some extra coin doing what you do best. Can I get a hell ya for spreading the love to my fellow GNers.
