Advantages/Disadvantages over 2.6???
I can't even reply to people who think that water raises gasoline's octane making it comparable to race gas. I just can't respond to notions like this.
IIRC the guys at OTTP were going to take the challenge (they are close by), but ZZP apparently didn't want that.

Are you even reading this thread?
For one, people are saying this. For 2, they would be right. So in both your statement and your implication you are wrong.
Intentional or not, you are not telling the truth.

well zoomer, its agreed that water helps resist fuel from burning... which is what octane does...
We didnt say water rasises octane.. we are saying it has teh same effect.

It's like confusing CO2 injection and N2O injection and then debating on how a mixture works well. No mixture works well. One promotes combustion and one puts it out. At some mixture you'd have gains but CO2 can never help you make power just like water can't. Both will allow more boost and timing, both operate similarly in that they can reduce temps, allow leaner mixtures, etc. However neigther water, nor CO2 can help you make power.

1. any of 18 isomeric saturated hydrocarbons having the formula C8H1 8, some of which are obtained in the distillation and cracking of petroleum.
2. octane number.
octane number
–noun
(of gasoline) a designation of antiknock quality, numerically equal to the percentage of isooctane by volume in a mixture of isooctane and normal heptane that matches the given gasoline in antiknock characteristics.
Also called octane rating.
