You put up a lot of good practical information on this site but you aren't correct here - sorry.
Moving goal posts? Lol. What I did was use facts, examples, and common sense to prove what you claimed was total BS on 3 accounts. Yet you still won’t admit you were wrong. Its sad.

Water or meth… it doesn’t matter. Fluid displacing the air charge and causing power loss in total nonsense. Esp. when talking about the typical kits and volumes used here.

You are the one that citing random internet BS that 100% does not apply to what we are talking about here. Do you think the meth (or water) is changing states the second it exits the nozzle in typical kits? Because it sure as hell isn’t. Let’s fog 15gph of meth in your face. If it’s all changing states as it exits the nozzle, you won’t get any meth on ya! It also won’t change states with 90-100* charge temps in a pressurized pipe such as the OP is running. I know, because I’ve done it.

Lastly the cooling effect on the charge temp is negligible at best with intercooled setups spraying at the TB. And an IAT sensor data is garbage if its “wet”.

All 3 points you stated were incorrect. Yet you have zero examples and zero relevant data of your claims.

Occasionally someone with little experience and a bit of an education comes in and acts like they have it all figured out. When clearly, they lack experience and common sense. Just don’t want people to buy into the BS. Typical water meth kits work by slowing things down in the CC and preventing detonation. They aren’t charge coolers, they report BS charge temp data, and are nothing like an intercooler.
-end of story.

This should be fairly obvious. You can't get a sensor wet and expect an accurate reading I've always just used the reported numbers as "Yes, my meth system is spraying"
