Thinking of water injection..any recommendations?

Did you notice much change in AFR's with the methanol? And air temps? Does the decreased cooling inside the engine have any increase on knock? I was going to test mixtures of alcohol, but the water works so good and is free, makes me feel like there is little point. If I decide I want more power I just turn the knob on the boost controller clockwise.

I have zero knock in my set up anyway so that was harder to quantify but I can reduce the rate of W/M compared to just water as it seems to be more volatile. The power 100% goes up, its a big difference.

Note: the tests I was doing all keep everything the same, so it was just different mixtures & effects on performance.
