Water injection and boost.

For you who use water injection, Do you see any loss of boost when injecting? I know there is a balance between enough to cool but not so much to lower boost. How much do you inject? On my dunebuggy I inject a total of 650 CC a min. I run 15 to 18 lbs boost on a gas car.

I posted in your other thread. I think it increases boost. I'm running a #7 injector and I think that's enough. I have a #10 that I could put in.

Devils' Own injectors. I travel to many miles to bother with meth. One of these days I'll try a little meth to see what happens.

The meth does add a little kick.
