I have water/alcohol injection on my 12 second ram and let me tell you it
works...i run 2/3 distilled water and 1/3 everclear...it has allowed me to
run more aggressive timing while turning up the boost i currently run
10-11lbs of boost and only retard the timing 6 degrees...as for a stock
engine i cant really say it would be of benefit unless a turbo/supercharger
or higher compression is being utilized.

The automotive equivlent is water/alcohol injection... yes it works... I had
a unit on my '68 Charger which allowed me to run pump gas (10:1 compression)
without any pinging, and without retarding the timing. They are
particularly helpful in forced induction.. sometimes called and alcohol
intercooler, it's injected after the turbo/blower to cool the intake charge.
I know of at least one person on the DiRT list that runs a Novi blown V10
(no kidding) and uses the alcohol injection... works like a charm.. no
timing retard required up to 6-8 # of boost, if I recall.
