snow performance water methanel kit

i have been looking at the snow performance water methanel kits and i am going to get one eventually before i do my injectors but my question is will i see any improvment in mpg. i filled up today and did a rough calculation and it is between 20-22 mpg driving back and forth to work. i have been looking at the stage 3 kit cause it can be setup in a couple different ways and it will also from what i understand it will display egt and boost so i can get the dam gauges off my steering column that are hose clamped there. any thoughts would be great thanks guys

wow, 20mpg seems pretty good to me.

i may be way off here but i dont think the main focus of water/meth kits is performance or mpg gain, although i think it does help. i believe it is more used for cooling the turbo either as a replacement for an IC or to supplement an IC. you should look into a propane kit.

was looking at propane kits and found just about all of them are discountinued and they are unbelivably expensive around 600-1000 for a full kit when you can buy everything new for about 250 including a forklift tank and straps, thinking i am going to peice together a kit and see how it runs after that and what i get for milage

I did the propane and have a kit around here someplace. The temptation to turn it up and do damage was to much for me. I didn't see that it worked that good anyway. I'm with Steve on this one, I'm filling mine up a lot and it does a fantastic job of cooling. If you use meth then plan on buying a lot of it. I can't say enough about my coolingmist with just water. I'm pulling my 16K 5er over hills like never before without kicking it out of OT, LOVE IT!!

The coolingmist have higher pressure pumps then snow.
