The H2O/Meth kit I got is the coolingmist single stage. I am using my washer tank for it and it has been working so far but I have a problem with the injector with not misting and just pouring into the intake. At least there is no more detonation as of now and I have tried on 113 degree days. For those of you who don't know what it sounds like the best description I have found is tons of tiny metal ***** being poured onto a piece of tin.
The detonation did not have anything to do with my A/F, I am between 11.8 and 10.8 until redline. It is just the high Phoenix temps mixed with that much boost. The pressure and heat is causing pre-ignition.
It made 344whp in 105 degree heat and 321 peak @3900rpm (294ft-lbs @ 2100rpm). I am quite happy with the results; I just need to decide when enough is enough. Since the dyno, I installed Kinetix high-flow cats last weekend and now my boost is down to ~7.7psi (from 8.4) but the car needs the extra flow. I am thinking about getting headers, a UNICHIP and installing the RC440's I have at my house with a custom pulley (to get the lost boost back) and re-tune to see if I can get a little more out of it. But when will enough be enough.

No but I have the credit card room for it. I figure be happy now and pay for it while you enjoy it.
I am on the wall right now about headers. I think if I can find a good enough deal on a set of Alphawerks I will buy them and try it. I just need to make sure and be able to afford the UNICHIP and tune at the same time since I think having the headers and cats will put me too lean. I wonder if Stillen would be willing to unlock my split second box and tune it for me...

If Stillen isn't willing, I think that you can get the SS Box direct from the company. Call Tuan at GRD in Naperville IL. He should be able to tell you how to get one. The difference between the locked and unlocked versions is that the locked one doesn't have a port on it so that you can get into the box and reprogram it. The unlocked one has a port which you can hook up to a computer and reprogram it.

As for the headers the extra flow is going to make me loose some boost and run lean. I need to get a smaller pulley made to get the boost back and box I can tune to get the A/F back into the safe range.

Otherwise depending on the price I would look into getting another SS box but I like the idea of the UNICHIP because I don't like having stock injectors and one RC750; I would rather have all larger injectors and get rid of that 7th. I have always been scared of 1 cylinder going lean if the fuel does not get mixed enough.
