Hey Greg,

The only Wiggles you wanna worry about is the ones belonging to that python in your shorts and to be sure the wrong people don't get a hold of it ! :D

Doin' a great job buddy and a slap on the back for having a go !

I have always liked the idea of water injection. Generally most people can't equate the idea of water that puts a fire out making the engine work better !

Better beleive it. :!:

Thanks MD.
Water injection works! It does have some drawbacks just like every other form of boost cooling. The advantage is it cools the discharge air more effectively than any other form of cooling. Plus when the water is mixed with Methanol it effectively increase the octane of the fuel allowing for very high effective compression ratios.

So far I have run both straight water and a 50/50 mix of water and denatured alchohol which is almost as good as methanol. I will try a 50/50 water/methanol mix soon.
