I'm going the solenoid route also. I wonder if the pump can handle being ON all the times with the ignition of the car or whether it will burn out?

6000 miles? I put that many miles on my car in 4 months, but what ever. Your right, I must not know what I’m talking about. I find it interesting that several people have noticed the same delay problem that I did 2 years ago, but know one could explain why. There is a reason for it, and I’m explaining the mechanics of why that is…
Yes, 6000 miles, in 1 summer (about 4 months).
I never once questioned your intelligence. It's actually quite the opposite. I must not be as sensitive though.

I'm just giving my personal experience with the car, my power levels, how I drive it, what kind of power it made, what kind of 1/4 performance it had, all with no problems.

I don't see the delay being an issue, however I didn't have alot of seat/driving with it, but from what I saw, it activated pretty quickly once boost hit (green led lit up).
I understand this is no indication of flow, just power to the system, but from what I saw, I always had fluid in my line when I was changing nozzle, or what have you, as soon as I would tip the line, it would pour out.
However, my pump is in my drivers side fender, and the lines are fairly short, I didn't install it in the trunk like most, I would imagine you would have a pretty lengthy delay.

That’s fine, share your experiences, but I at least put my own kit in, so let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves. Its not a dick waving contest, we don't care how big your numbers are, it’s irrelevant to the discussion. We are all using a form of injection system, most seem to be using the AEM progressive controller which I have direct experience with also, so let’s pool our experiences and share what we know.
The power numbers and performance are irrelevant? Hmm. Ok.
Maybe you should develop your own meth injection system since you seem to know so much about it. lol
At least you put your own kit in? What is that supposed to mean?
You act like that's hard. Haha. The directions that AEM included with the kit makes it so easy a caveman could do it.

I don't understand why you guys think you have to reinvent the wheel. If there was a design flaw in AEM Water/Meth kit, I guarantee I would've destroyed my motor. I don't think there is a single person on here that made the kind of power I did on that kit, and for as long as I did. It wasn't a one shot wonder either. It was 40+ 1/4 mile passes, it was 6000 miles on the street, and tons of dyno pulls. The kit is solid, cheap, and works. I also used the recommended 50/50 water/meth mix. No reason going against what the engineers that designed the system recommend.
You don't need to build some elaborate, expensive, complicated system. It's not needed.
I mean seriously, what kind of power are you guys wanting to make on the kit? Is 700whp not enough, is 9 second 1/4 pass not enough? Honestly, at that point, you'll need race gas to continue past that HP level.

What I am saying is, if this delay that you speak of is actually a problem, don't you think I would of noticed it pushing things as hard as I was.
My motor was relying on the water/meth for it's survival. Your motor clearly isn't. So how would you even know if this were a potential problem? Assumption?
Are you just assuming that the slight delay is actually bad? So have the controller turn on the system before you need it? Problem solved.
I don't see this as a problem, nor does AEM, or they wouldn't of released this kit. But to each their own.

Like I said, I am… its not hard, just takes a little research. There is allot of information out there. I recommend you do a bit more yourself if you want to have anymore valuable input to the discussion. Thats great you have had some good results
I'm glad you know my background and my knowledge base.

It doesn’t help support someone cause when they don't do their own work. No matter the difficulty level, going through the process yourself, gives you a different prospective on the subject matter.
