I was told that while the meth raises the octane so to speak, it also slows the burn down as well, and unless your tune requires it, the gains are minimal. Kind of like putting 93 octane in a stock 454 mag, not gonna do a whole lot. So, it was recommended that in a low boost application, that normally can run fine on 93 octane, pure water, or water with a light mixture of methonal was the way to go. Now, high boost, where say C16 fuel may be needed, than higher concentrations of meth is the way to go . Apparently water itself, does an excellent job of cooling the charge, but doesnt require the fine tuning of fuel ratios, burn speeds, etc.
Just the way it was explained to me.

The purpose of the system isn't necessarily to increase power, it's to add safety margin to the overall setup. The speed increase I saw was a nice bonus.

We ran the systems on the supra and overall it was a pain in the ass. All the safety's on the pro efi were turned on a utilized and it would still cause some issues. We used the alkycontrol kits. Alex what meth pump do you like/ most reliable?

Water Injection is a really old technology but it's come along way with electronic controllers which are now available. Then add EFI into the picture and we're seeing people being able to run a lot more power safely than we used to be able to run.
It might not be right for everyone but I think it has its place.
But back to the topic at hand. What's everyone else getting out of their big power engines?
