if you got one of those, a tornado, the magnets on the fue line, and the catalyst thing that goes in the take you'd have 150% more horse power and 130% better fuel economy!!!.. that aquatune thing is total crap however water injection has been around for about 100 years. it is used in many racing aplications usually with turbos... the only benefit to water injection is to reduce detonation and if you don't have any to begin with it robs horsepower. . you should buy one and tell me if it works

Water injection, done properly, can increase power. But it will do so at great expense to the life of the engine. It was used in fighters only for short bursts when saving your hide was more important than worrying if you'd cut engine life in half!

Its not completely BS - in aircraft applications. They one thing they fail to mention is that automobile engines get nowhere near hot enough for this system to work properly - heat and a good air mixture (through super or turbo charging). I can't think of any application it would work with a normally aspirated engine.
The little dodad that they show under the hood looks like a bad joke. I wonder how many people have hrydrolocked their engine wih that little POS.
