yeah, the alcohol helps increase torque and a complete burn while the water helps cool hot spots. In other words helps decrease/elimate detonation. :msnnerd:

what kind of nozzle is he using? What psi are the injectors at? How much cc is he injecting per lbs of boost(I'm trying to find out)? What is the a/f reading when he sprays? Usualy the added alcohol will richin the hell out of it. Does he have a control box (not sure what the correct terminoligy is)? Hope this helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_induction

no, water injection is a failsafe for a poor setup and is usually only installed on systems that are thrown together without much thought put into them. If you have hotspots than you need to get your A/F ratio right, get it tuned so its not running so lean. besides the alcohol will do much more cooling than the water will...
