Water Meth
 
ok so i kinda know how its supposed to wrok but when tuning what exactly should i be watching for if i bought and purchased i know there is alot of varieties with nozzles and pump and psi of boost but do i just watch my egt temps to drop and tune off of that or does anyone know how im supposed to achieve optimum performance without messing to much up. . .

in a nut shell... from your sig...

you should see an decent amount of cooling/power increase vs alot of the heavily modified trucks out there who seem to get very little out of the package.

rule number 1. you can run 50% more volume using a 50/50 mix vs straight water. so keep that in mind when picking your nozzels. i found i had to use seperate nozzels for just water and bigger nozzels for 50/50.

rule number 2. do not use windshield wiper fluid that protects below -20 degrees and do not use anything with propalyne glycol. the -20 degree blue stuff is perfect. you can pull msds saftey sheets online. propalyne glycol will not compress and will have more of an effect of blowing gaskets. i know.

rule number 3. if you notice a "knocking" when spraying, use a smaller nozzel or adjust settings. this is known as "quenching" and is putting the fire out. bad. too much volume. you may also hear alot of timing. again, bad. use smaller nozzel or adjust settings. a properly running kit you will not notice any engine noise change. you should feel the increase slightly if tuned right and possible egt reduction.
