Default Water/Meth advice

Jus ordered snow performance stg 3 boost cooler for my 06 2500. Any advice on how I should run it, % of meth, or just any odds and ins that Yall have run into with it.

Right now all the truck has done to it is an S&B elbow, ats pulse flow, afe stg 2 dry, airdog 2, smarty pod, and gauges.

All help is appreciated!

a 50/50 mix is about the normal, but it can be mixed anyway, basic rules, more water = lower egt's and less power, more meth = more power, higher egt's and higher cylinder pressures, if you are pushing high boost prerssures already, to much meth will have a good chance of making the head gasket explode

I have done a lot of research on the web about this when i was trying to figure out a way to cool my egt's and not buy a bigger turbo. No more then 65%-70% meth should be used. And I also have a friend that uses it just to cool egt's and he runs the stuff you get at walmart for your windsheild. (blue liquid only) and it works great.

Hi On Diesel. It sounds like your running high turbo boost. Water/Meth will really increase HP and torgue. Recomend FireRing head gasket and absolutly stronger Head studs for clamping. Your playing with break down if you don't already have.
