Labonte Meth Kit
Anyone running this kit? What do you think of it? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Have it and like it, but my IFS-10 failsafe just had a meltdown and was sent out for replacement. It looks like Labonte has solved the problem, but it will put me down for at least a week waiting for the replacement.

Are you working with Nick and Alfred?
Nothing was said that you would be down a week, we can work out a cross ship to get you up and running sooner.

I had the Snow Stg 2, which was made by LMS, and I am installeing the new VCS3G with IFS-10 on my car. Loved the old stg 2 and I will let you know about the new one later after it gets tuned.

i have the kit and was making 287hp before, now i make 321hp with a consevative tune. good kit very good constumer service, only problem i have is the boost bypass blows to wastegate pressure, so i un hooked it. i haven't gotten with Dan to try and search for a solution, been out of town. Also the my gauge always reads flow except when i spray it, it zeros out and then show flow.

40,000 miles of use with the LaBonte built VC 25 2D controller, still works flawlessly.
About 10,000 miles on their IFS controller (got it last summer).
The Snow pump I originlally had was upgraded with their better pump, even though it was working fine (New one has more methanol durable parts). Methanol concentration used is about 70% but have used plenty of 100% as well as unusual concoctions of solvents.
I would basically say their parts withstand continued use and are very reliable.
So far engine is holding up too approaching 60,000 miles, even after all the ignorant punishment I have put it through, like 35 psi boost with 48 psi of turbine backpressure. The tune is the big thing though on this  - lean AFR (12 - 13), timing slightly below best torque
