to water inject or not to water inject that is the question well I went out and got everything I needed to build a sweet h20/alky injection system for my blown LS1 on the premise it was gonna be a long wait for LS1-edit. Well now the bastards actually produced the product in a reasonable time frame <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
question is do I go ahead and run the h20 injection or get conservative and just pull timing?
the conservative side of me says take your loss on the h20 injection and go with a conservative tune. the other side says dude, tons of people use h20 injection just think of all the extra power you can produce.
what do you guys think?

Re: to water inject or not to water inject that is the question I ran water injection in 2 motorhomes. In hot AZ & CA weather, water is better than premium!
Your water use will decrease after 1 to 2 k miles, as the engine gets clean. Water injection dates back to fighters in WW1, The only downside I found is the weight of water.

Re: to water inject or not to water inject that is the question Hey Heath
I think in the end it comes down to whether you want to tinker with the car or just have a nice reliable(is that word allowed in the FI forum <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> ) car that you don't have to worry about filling up with H2O/alky just so you can go WOT.
Personally, I'm not a tinkerer so this FI stuff has really tried my patience with my car. <img src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" border="0" alt="[guns]" /> When I finally do get my setup complete the most I want to do is normal maintenance stuff.(plugs, oil, belts, maybe tweak on the MAFT or LS1-edit for weather changes) <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I'm going to set my timing for the worst conditions and use heads and cam to make up for the lost power. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">
BTW, I still haven't got the fuel rail I ordered. <img src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" border="0">
Talk to ya later
