I have a coolingmist water/meth injection but only use water. It helps keep things cool. I fugure the IC helped 150* and the water injection helped another 100*. As Jason said, the more hp, the more you fight to keep EGT's down.

Glenn do you use just distilled water? Im guessing tap water or water from a hose wouldnt be a good idea.

Do these new fords have issues with EGT's? I'm sure they would, but I always see them doing 70+ pulling loads.

Glenn drinks lots of coffee and fills the reservoir up at every potty stop. 
I put in an IC a few years ago and thus far I've haven't come close enough to the 1250 mark to warrant h20 injection. So far....

Interesting. I guess I had better try to avoid getting it on my skin during washer fluid fillups. I guess everything is bad for you these days. Hell they've got warnings on oil containers for skin contact but that doesn't stop me lol.

Travis, ya, more turbo, bigger turbo, more fuel, more, more, more!!!!!!!! PMS 
Rich, you said in your boost thread your's at 14K. I guess the difference is I don't drive slow! LOL
Blake, distilled water would be best but i'm not going to keep buying more and more, lol. At first I just dumped water in but my nozzle kept getting clogged up. Now I use water out of my camper that I have two filters on my hose. A pre filter and a carbon filter. I can go a long time now before cleaning the nozzle now.
Your right Dave, one big mug of coffee in the morning but then I stop. I was going thru a ton of water so I switched to the next size down nozzle and its reasonalble now and I don't see much difference in EGT's. Get a real chip and see if you can get over 1250*, LOL.
