Coming soon, the most elaborate Water-Methanol Setup ever!
Water injection is virtually a must in any roots type supercharger application, the kits have really come a long way in quality over the past two years.
To start things off for fuel I'll be using Snow performance boost juice 51% Water 49% Methanol, highest effective concentration for injection

Theres a number of companies now that have a similar product, Devils own calls it the brew, and Coolingmist has one now too.
Snow Performance Nitro Boost mixed in with the Boost Juice at a 12.5% (1/8th) Concentration

The base of the kit will be the Labonte Motorsports kit, they actually make the kits for Snow

150psi pump and all the needed hosing and fittings all 100% Methanol Compliant, I'll be ditching the Solenoid in favor of a more reliable checkvalve
Progressive Control is the way to go and I'll be using the VC-MAF

As mentioned I'll be using a checkvalve from Devil's Own since they are the only ones doing one in a Nickel Finish right now

For the injector I'll be getting that from Coolingmist.com size will be a 2.8 Gallons per hour @ 150 psi (M2)
For safety and monitoring purposes I'm using the IFS-10 - Alcohol Injection Fail Safe from Labonte. This has a an internal flow meter the can measure flow from 100ml/min up to 2.5L/min. It will also shut off things in the event flow drops below acceptable levels to prevent drying out the pump which damages it.

In conjunction with the fail safe unit to get a reading off the flow meter
IFG-20 - Digital Injection Flow Gauge Red

Total Parts cost will prob be around $600-650 and gains should be in the 30-50whp range, I'm considering getting a more sophisticated controller and 220psi pump for better atomization but I haven't decided yet. I'll prob also want a custom tank for the mixture.

It's elaborate and completely unnecessary! I myself like to keep things simple, functional, and easy to fix if something breaks, plus mine works just as well as that (except I don't have a fancy gauge telling me mine is spraying), but I do know its working because I can smell it when I get out of the car!
dang, why ya'll hatin already?!! let the man be fancy. its definitely a better investment(in the fancy category) than a $600+ cf hood that still not gona get u anywhere.
u know what they should cf?, the friggin doors, those things weigh a lot!
ne1 know how much?

running more than a 50/50 mix is dangerous, pretty much any company will state that about the kits
I like the peace of mind of just pouring it in then driving away

i wouldnt say its a "must" on every roots supercharged car
virtually NONE of the grand prix guys use it.. and they are getting into the 11s on the stock blower... 9s on a turbo. only a select few have used it and were still in the 13s because it is a tuning nightmare

the lsj ecm is a lot easier to tweak and mold to the users desires than the gtp ecm set up.
it's not a tuning nightmare. just take out 25% of the fuel, and add 4 degree's of timing and be done
