Default Water / Meth. Injection

Has anyone on here tried a water/ meth. injection on your engines;I know they work well on supercharged or turbo engines but they say you can use them on nonaspirated engines and offer a lot of benefits not to mention 45 to 50 HP per engine boost when used properly and tuned.????? thanks Jim

i don,t know about 40 hp but on those hot humid days the cooler intake charge is good for some power.

snow performance but IMO the supply tank would not be big enough to support a whole day on the water, I could be wrong.

That used to be the key to your survival , back in the day , on many turbo builds .couldnt really see a benefit on your mainstream low comp marine build even if you boat on a lake of high methanol content ozarka spring water and they were giving away free scuppers at mcdonalds.if the dyno says high octane gives you zilch , water -alcohol inj prob going to be zilch too

I heard if you put it on a 6.0 diesel you will get 28mpg towing your boat..........

We run the Snow performance kits on out drag cars. We have a 12-1 BBC with iron heads and we use it to run cooler and not need as much octane. It works well and we only put 91 ethanol free in the tank. We're still dialing it in.

I know a local guy who runs it on a blown drag car. he swears by it, but took a ton of tuning to dial it in.
