Everybody on the list is always looking for more power, but I haven't heard
one person talk about a water mist system in the intake. If ambient is dry
and you inject a water spray into the inlet you increase the mass flow and
more power is the result.
I new this welder guy who was really smart in my days in the oil fields and
he had one on a big truck he used to haul horses. And he said going up large
grades he would turn it on and over the top he went. I have some really
fine mist system nozzles that we use on our gas turbine intake system that
make fog like crazy. It takes 750 psi to run them but I use them on my patio
with a water hose pressure and they still work great.
I remember in high school the teacher in auto shop would pour water down the
carburetor at high rpms to knock the carbon off the pistons for a cheap tune
up.
Looking forward to the comments on this one.

Helps with detonation also in supercharged engines. Mark, from the Drag
Trucks page, witht he 12 second Ram just installed a water injection system,
along with some other mods on his Ram. Curious to see what he thinks. Next
time I talk to him, I will get some specifics, and post on here.
