Hi SmokinVette’s! The holidays are coming around, which makes this giving season! So to start off this holiday season with a bang SmokinVette.com and Snow Performance are pleased to announce a “Smokin Contest” where one Corvette owner will be given a Free Snow Performance Water/Methanol Injection kit, valued at over $400.00!
Snow Performance better known as the “Water Methanol Injection Experts” have teamed up with SmokinVette.com for this “Smokin Contest” or look at this as a Virtual Car show for both modified and stock Corvettes from C1 up to C6’s.
This Virtual Car show runs from the date of this post and ends November 29, 2007.
TO ENTER CONTEST: Simply "Post Reply" to this post and upload (2-3) photos of your stock or modified Corvette into a post in the “Smokin Contest” thread. Then write a brief description of your SmokinVette. The “title” of the post must include your year and model and your cars nick name. **See the 1st Example post made by SmokinVette.com**
Last but not least you must refer at least one person whom becomes an *active member of SmokinVette.com. On November 30, 2007 SmokinVette.com and Snow Performance will jointly judge all contestants and the winner will be announced.
Here are the rules:
1. You need to have a complete profile set up with avatar photo and be an active member, if not registered with SmokinVette.com then Click Here to Register. (http://www.smokinvette.com/corvetteforum/register.php)
2. By November 29, 2007 you need to email all the new SmokinVette's that you referred to: support@smokinvette.com (support@smokinvette.com) and reference "Smokin Contest" in the subject line.
3. To keep this fair, all new SmokinVette's that you refer also need to have a complete profile set up with Photos, active email, and can not reside in the same household as you.
4. An *ACTIVE member for this Smokin Contest is someone who post a minimum of 15 QUALIFIED Post during the Month of November.
5. Qualified post include questions or answers, tips, advice that NEED to be more than (5) words in length. Smiles do NOT count as words.
6. SmokinVette.com reserves the right to deny obvious "Spam" post...(example: you have 15 post during the month and they all say "looking good, like your car") lets keep this fun and fair for everyone. This promotion is to reward loyal SmokinVettes who contribute quality Q&A, conversation, tips, advice and so forth to fellow Corvette Enthusiast!
8. The winner will be announced and featured in a new page we will create for this Smokin Contest give-a-way as well as future give-a-ways. Good luck to all!

Few Notes on this Water/Methanol Injection Kit:
Snow Performance has earned their name as “The Water/Methanol Injection Experts” by offering top quality injection systems that are easy to install, easy to tune, and provide the best “bang for the buck.” The idea that a water and methanol mix can be injected into almost any engine to make more power isn’t new by any means. U.S. bomber and fighter pilots of World War II depended on an “Emergency Power” water injection system to give them the upper hand over the enemy. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) have conducted numerous in-depth studies and tests that show how effective water/methanol injection is at reducing intake air temperatures (IAT) and providing detonation control in high output gasoline engines. Snow Performance took the complexity out of water/methanol injection by combining modern technology and high quality components and creating an easy to use package for almost any vehicle.
The Snow Performance Stage 2 Boost Cooler™ system uses a progressive controller that proportionally injects more or less fluid according to an engine load indicator such as boost, vacuum, or mass air flow. Because the Boost Cooler™ systems can read a number of different inputs, it can be used on both naturally aspirated and forced induction applications. Using a progressive system gives the most accurate delivery of water/methanol and allows the most cooling and performance improvement over the widest range. More power and driveability is the result.
The Boost Cooler™ systems provides two benefits: air charge cooling and detonation control. As the highly atomized fluid is injected into the intake air charge, it starts to evaporate. To make this vaporization process happen heat energy is required to make the fluid change states. This heat is directly taken out of the air charge which provides temperature drops of 60-120°+ Fahrenheit. As IATs drop, the density of the air charge increase which supplies more molecules of oxygen for combustion. In the combustion chamber of a gasoline engine, water cannot be “ignited” per se so it has an extremely high effective octane rating. Combined with methanol, the effective increase in octane is usually 20+ points making premium octane pump gas act like 120 octane race gas. This additional detonation suppression allows for more cylinder pressure, more boost and more ignition timing, while being safer than poor quality pump gas alone.
