Yeah I know Pete, known him for close to 12-13 years now, might even be 14..

Lost count.. Is he working his magic on your LT5 for you?
One of the guides came loose in the motor and fricked up my drivers cam cover (spare motor). Pete is going to go over it for me, and put it back in a operable state while I am tending to my jobs early jan.

I may wind up going over the ems with him, and leaving the car with him for him to piddle with, and it would give everyone an independent source. I dunno exactly how it is all going to unfold in the long run, right now he is just helping me get it all together since I have limited time

Okay guys I finally installed my Snow Performance Water Meth Injection system on my LT5. I have done my homework on the benefits, listen to the nay sayers.... heard that it is only for boosted vehicles etc. (What is a boosted vehicle but another means to increasing compression thus power.)

I ran my car WOT with it on and with it off. I will say I can definitely tell seat of the pants feel that there is more power with it on.
Engine mods are: ported heads, stage 1 cams, secondaries removed and Haibeck tune. Even though there is a little more power to be gained with an advancement in timing, or at least I have heard but not sure on LT5s. I decided not to tweak timing in the event I run low on boost juice.

My thinking is the benefits of a cool intake charge, cleans my pistons and allows my motor to give everything it has without the timing being retarded due to detonation. Below are pics on where I installed the pump and injector. Just thought I would share what I have done. So if you were wondering or have any questions.....


Located the pump on floor, I used the stock C4 radiator overflow container. Painted it black crinkle and plummed it for the juice. It holds 1 gallon of boost juice.

You will notice that I installed a on-off switch to the pump. This lets me test the system lights and switches and prevents it from coming on if I don't want it to.

Installed switches just below dash with power on LED (green). Red LED is my activation light.

Vacuum activation switch fits nicely into fender and vacuum source to manifold.

Tapped IAT port for injection of Meth and covered it to look factory.
