Other than the initial cost and the installation and the cost of the methyl hydrate - no pitfalls that I've found. It also helps immensely to have the ability to tune your car as with an XCal - if you just install it on a stock engine with the stock tune, the benefits will not be nearly so great.
FWIW I have the AEM Water meth system and for my application (JRSC BBK) and the concerns about underhood and intake air temps, it is frankly essential for me to make any decent power safely - and on 87.

That's a good choice for the pump. The 5 gallon tank OTH is a bit of pain to install. I ended up putting mine in the spare tire well along with the pump. You'd have to be Houdini to find space under the hood for it.

Same psi - but capable of a higher volume flow and also built for longevity.

Yeah i was thinking of just mounting it to the opposite side of the subwoofer in the svt. I might have someone fab me up an aluminum tank though instead of the plastic one.
