Running Pure Meth - Use UEGO as failsafe?

Do you mean that any failsafe/monitoring device isn't needed? So all this talk about blocked nozzles or lower than normal flow is just marketing?

I cant speak for others systems, but in my own I have NEVER in 20 years and hundreds of kits ever had anyone complain of a blocked jet. My system is different to the rest though so you need to keep that in mind (read my members thread if you are interested).

Making WI over complicated is doing it a dis service at the end of the day. I guess if people insist on using coffee machine and boat bilge pimps in their kits and microscopic water injectors then maybe its a path to failure.

Water Injection when done right is just like it was back in the 30's and during WW2, it made things reliable and dependable and as Charlie Sheen would say WINNING!

Why would you be confused as to the fluid to use??????? Its only been researched to death 100 years ago! by people far smarter than us and backed up by many generations of people there after.

I can help you if you want it, you just need to read what I have posted here and many times over and over. It's not that difficult though peoples nature is to reinvent the wheel even though its thousands of years old.

This. I was actually thinking about this the other day. Are the newer jets really better, is progressive better than on/off or is the newer load based really that much better than either, 250 vs 150psi pump. I just keep reminding myself, people made much more power than I'm planning to make with the old system. BUT I believe that the newer systems help, by how much I don't know.

Re mixture, at first I was thinking bout running pure H2o, mainly because Richard L (who to me, seems to be one of the more knowledgeable people re w/m) preaches it. But like he also said 50/50 is easiest, pure h2o could possibly make the most power but requires high ignition power, which my engine lacks. Pure meth is also still a viable option, people make good power with pure meth and you don't have to mix it anymore (I know easy, but still an additional step).

End of the day, I'll use whatever give me the most power with the least problems, if any.

Anyways, back to topic.

Do you use any failsafe/monitoring system? Or is the basic low-level switch enough?

And thanks for tip regarding the new style jets, I was actually thinking of getting one.
