Thinking of water injection..any recommendations?

If that is the case, than I doubt myself, or anyone with a very effiecent intercooler would see any real performance gains as my AIT's are near ambient anyway.

Correct me if I'm wrong but is the performance gain only though cooler AIT's? I can see strait meth and bumping the timing gaining a ton of power, but the way you're touting water injection, doesn't seem logical.

Brian I think with a 30meth/70water mix(50/50 commonly called) you would see a performance gain and a better safety margin without re-tuning your map. Of course you could fine adjust your tune to accomadate the meth and get even more power BUT system failure could lead to motor failure.

I do think that if the owner is running an efficient IC and has very well routed heat scavanging system/under hood temp control, then WI might not seem like a very big factor in gaining HP. I do think however if the owner was to road race /circuit, that the WI with water only would just be a smart choice because you know that your AIT's are gonna rise..maybe not to extreme temps if your ducting is functional but those AIT's will be hotter then a motor with WI would record.
