Any updates on the RMW Water/Meth Kit? Pricing? Options? More sexy red tanks?

I've had my RMW kit installed since November. Looking forward to keeping my power through the summer months. I chose the RMW kit because all the experimenting with different jets and such was allready done by someone with much better data logging equipment than me.

Pricing depends on what options you want, all you have to do is call or pm Jan.

That looks like it takes up alot less room than the one I've got. Perhaps it will be time for me to get the smaller tank and mount like yours.

It's a 1 gallon tank and for me perfect. I love the fit. It's way smaller then my old set up. This mount is made so you can run back to back tanks if you want more volume.

Hmm, Funny you put yours in facing the opposite way we put ours in. That looks much better. I'm thinking I'll go flip it around today. A+ kit works flawlessly.

Injector duty cycle is the only way to get it to work right
We have tested the other styles

Okay so its tied into the injector duty cycle.

questions -

I take its fixed for the user?

I take it at some point when the duty cycle increases it comes on - can it be equated to a RPM level or boost level?

PS - like the nice and neat trunk mount, not necessary but perhaps a lid ?

The Alta kit is a Progressive Pump Speed System like almost every other kit on the market. The RMW kit is a Pulse Width Modulated injection system. The PPS systems speed up and slow down the pump to try to regulate the spray, the PWM system runs like a fuel injection system. Which you use depends on how closely you want to control the AFR's.

On the 45 you can get 10-15 with a tune, but you'll also get torque across the rev range.

What happens if you accidently run out of meth/water?
Will it hurt the engine?
Would be nice to only occasionally use the kit (only during summer, track days, etc.) so is that possible?

I think its an option to add a level indicator.
and you can harm the engine if you continue to drive it on the meth tune in a "hard" manner.
