Yo Nate. My middle name is Sterling. My last name is Warn. FYI. ;-)

This is moving a little slower than I was hoping. If you guys know anyone who is interested in picking up one of our kits feel free to get them on here and in the group buy. I just want to hook up 719ers and this is the only way I can.
I'm trying to talk my dad into this for his F-350 Super-whatever he's got. He JUST chipped it for Christmas (complements of Santa) so I'm slowly and surely turning him into a "modder".
Hey Nate, what kit would he need for his Ford MY04', 7.....4? liter Diesel?
Awesome. There are actually two kits available for a Ford 6.0 Powerstroke. What's great about water/methanol injection on a diesel is that it really helps to reduce EGT's. All the chip/controller/programmer manufacturers do to make more power is plug in more fuel. This works but only to a point. You can actually have too much fuel and create and over fueling condition. When this happens unburned diesel fuel is being pushed out the exhaust where it turns into particulate matter (soot) and this creates a huge increase in EGT's. EGT's are probably the biggest killer of any modern performance diesel.
Water/methanol injection does three things on a diesel:
1. Cools and condenses incoming air charge. More oxygen in the combustion chamber means more burned diesel.
2. Methanol acts as a combustion catalyst on a diesel. Using more of the available fuel in the combustion chamber means more power and more efficiency.
3. When water changes states from a highly atomized fluid to a vapor it has expansive qualities. We call this the "steam engine" effect and it actually increases cylinder pressure on the power stroke making more torque.
By completing buring all of the fuel in the combustion chamber you harnessing all the potential energy diesel has to offer and you're also reducing EGT's.
The Stage 2 system references boost only to determine when and how much to inject. The Stage 3 system references boost and EGT's and using a 2D map to control injection. The Stage 3 system provides better EGT control but you'll see the same horsepower increase from both systems.
