The smc kits have been around a long time and people have used them with good results. I think smc was more popular with the import crowd and a few of the boosted Stang groups than they were with the Buick group but people do have them. I've seen quite a few kits up for sale though. Many of them said they were going with one of Razor's kits instead. I'm not saying anything is wrong with them but I think Razor's kits are a little better sorted out for our cars and are neater, especially using the stock over flow jug as a reservoir instead of some of the odd things I've seen on smc kits. Plus. Julio supports the board here both as a vendor and as a tech guru therefore supporting him is supporting ourselves so most people here will preach Alkycontrol. I understand about money though so if the deal is good just make sure you get everything you can that came with the kit such as the directions (I'm always surprised at people who don't keep instructions 
) and any tips, photos, or problems the owner ran into while installing or running the kit.

If its a good enough deal and you know what you're doing you'll probably be fine. Julio's kit is very well sorted and his support is unbelievable. You definitely wont get that with anyone else, but if the price is right you gotta do what you gotta do.

theres no decision to make buy the alky control from any of the vendors here or be prepared to start another thread how the snow system crapped out and you blew your motor. And you get a bunch of I told you so post. Plenty of info on this forum about the alky control. I suggest you use the search option, can anskwer 90% of the questions you have and save others from repeating the same answers over and over. Go with alky control and don't look back.

Sorry, didn't mean to confuse you with the Razor and Julio stuff. I sometimes forget not everybody has been around here as long as I have.
As far as Snow, they are big with the turbo Mustang crowd but as far as I know they never done anything specific for our cars. It was more like a universal setup you had to adapt to your car. No where near as user friendly as the Alkycontrol kit.
P.S., If you do decide to go with Razor's kit make sure you let him know you found him on this board. that way he'll know his support of this board pays off.

Wasn't meant to come off that way. Haha just isn't another option. Well reliable option. Even then still need to make sure pump is in working order. Some have spares and change them and rebuild them frequently. I'm gettin mine installed this winter.
I'll jump on the "just buy alkycontrol and don't look back" bandwagon. I really like his kits. I'm one of those people who tried to setup an alky system with just a hobbs switch back in the day and injured my motor because of it. This kit is the simplest and most reliable way to get into methanol injection on a TR.
Snow makes a pretty nice progressive controller for the price though. It has an initial turn on dial, another dial to say what psi you want the system to be at 100%, and a built in 3 bar MAP. I actually started out adapting the Razor kit to the snow controller back in the day. Was it worth it? Not really. I had to get creative to get all the pressure and alky on lights to work the way I wanted them. I ended up just getting Razor's controller in the end to keep it simple an it works fantastic.
The BWR ISAC controller is pretty cool too. You can enable wideband tracking and also control your boost with it. Very tempting for someone like me who wants to fine tune the car to be able to just hammer it on the street and tune out most of the wheel spin.

Snow kits work good. I had one on my supercharged Silverado. No comparison to the Alky Control. Alky control or nothing.
