I can not comment on any other water/meth kit but I am sure happy with my snow mpg max picked up four mpgs on a recent trip 22.1 was my best and I got 26.2. As for cooling ability I am 50-75 degrees cooler at cruise have not towed enough to really say there but I did notice less smoke and the smoke I saw was more of a gray haze than black. Easy to install. Instructions were easy to understand etc.

Not worried about price. I want the best, userfriendly, and long term kit with the most cooling ability.

that would relay on the GPM and pressure of the system in conjunktion with nozzle placement also depends on what you are spraying,

at least i would think so.
mosty i think you will get the i have this kit and it works great,
if you compare the same gpm nozzles and pump psi/gpm in each company then the only thing one company could have better than the other is the controller, but i used a boost switch with a manual override

I think that pretty much sums it up. And if you're going to be using it on a daily driver or tow rig you really need a progressive controller. I like the Coolingmist controller I used on this setup - very simple to adjust. I think they have a newer model out now:

150psi pump, 2 .380 nozzles in the grid delete spacer. Works really well for me with stock injectors. Gives a little kick under hard acceleration when it starts spraying at 16psi and keeps EGT in check towing with a 12cm exhaust housing.

This is the kit I am really looking into. I will be using this as a daily driver and tow rig on the weekends to haul the boat and other toys.

I've only had experience with the older Snows and it's variable controller, it's a very good controller, never had any trouble with any part, and I bet the new ones are even better. The Snow's kit a a whole is a nice setup in my opinion.

I like that 250psi pump - should work exceedingly well. Use a bigger tank for sure. I expanded my tank to include a 2nd 2 gallon tank for a total of three and would consider that bare minimum.

They are running a special on them right now and if you buy the whole kit you can upgrade to the 7 gallon tank for $25.00 more. So I will deffinately go with the 7 gallon that way I wont have to refill as often.

I'm running the coolingmist stage 3 with the smart controller, I see they now offer a stage 3 without it. So far it works well, I got it when it first came out. There was a bit of wiring to do for the install, but there customer service was excellent though so it made the install a little easier.
I was really wanting the Labonte motorsports variable injection system but they didn't offer it for a mechanical injection engine.
