that sucks... i already have it. i had to trim some of the bracket so i can get it in with the aftermarket motor mount. i tend to peel out alot and i hate that wheel hop sh**. you do know you can loosen it up or did that not work?

i intalled my injection myself...since it is not winter i was actually thinking about selling it but i dont know. i really wat stage 2 i cant wait to get it. why is your stage 2 sitting there??? i would have but that **** on as soon as i got it. if i wouldnt spray meth it would probably be an even race. if i did spray it wouldnt make too much of a difference being that it is cool out, but if it was hot i would pull alot harder.

it only makes a BIG difference if it is hot out.....for example...your car runs really good on cool nights right? well durring the hot dry day it doesnt run as well ,so if i use water injection it makes it run like it would on a cool night. but compaired to stage 2 i dont know...ive never rode or raced with a stage 2 ss/sc they only have one other ss/sc down here and he is stock.

In gasoline engines, as with any intercooler, this suppresses detonation so more power producing boost and timing can be utilized. Water, with its high latent heat of vaporization cools the intake charge and combustion. Methanol cools the charge and combustion but also acts like an extreamly high octane fuel ( some reasearchers claim as high as 120 octane) as well as adding more oxygen to combustion. the primary function of water/meth injection is to provide "chemical intercooling"...this is a quote from Cobalt addiction. this should help you understand alot more.

i understand all that. the thing i am lost about is water and fire doesnt mix. how in the hell does water that goes through the air intake mix with gas create combustion?? i had water in my gas tank on my s10 and it screwed everything up. i just cant see how water mixed with air mixed with fire works. but i do believe it does work though. if it didnt work no one would have it and they wouldnt sell it.

its not actually spraying water. it makes like a mist. its almost the same as if you where driving through a dence fog. it just dences the air so its colder for the supercharger.

but if your nozzle for the injection has a leak ( like it makes excess drops of water after it is done spraying) then your car will bog down like you went through a big puddle. you have to make sure it doesnt do this before you install it. my friends srt 4 did this and it sucked. he had to get a whone new sprayer. but no actual drops of water go in...just a fog.

interesting... in time that would seem like it would rust out all the internals in a car to me at least but i see how its ok. i think i would use pure methenaol instead of water... just dont like water being sprayed into a motor. probably cant do that though i bet?

im not sure but you do mix half and half so the meth isnt as concentrated...but about the rust thing im not sure, i dont see why it would rust. im gonna look into it just in case of long term damage.
