Why bother with water inj tino?

That's just more NASIOC bullshit. Totally not needed for what Jamie wants.

I don't think the effort involved is nearly worth it.

Maybe if it was a race car.

Hahhahaha, yes, today he woke up and probably crossed some on the list. Tommorow it will be back to Wolf ECU, Eagle rods and Arias 8.5:1 forgies .. when in fact in reality they like 9.45:1 cause Arias enginequeers dont know how to measure compression ratio if its not a SB Chev. Apparently the 4v thing confuses them. Ok ill stop now, dont wanna give James a complex.

Why a top mount ATA/WTA Jme?. Your familiar that heat (air) rises right ?.

Not a fan of pumping water into anywhere near a combustion chamber. Personal opinion but im not keen on the concept.

I have to say that water inj or water methanol is great stuff when meter'd correctly. However its a PITA. Needs constant filling to be reliable, but the benefits it has interally is awesome. Ive been a user since 93 when i built up my Camaro SB with a fraction too much comp ... only cure after cooler plugs was either back down timing or run water/meth inj. For a turbo car , straight water works better.

Then again Corky has a point with the fact WI is a band-aid for a poor IC. Not always, but commonly true.

Jme, so if you know that heat rises, isnt that a contradiction to giving good money for a product that is disabl .... err ... limited by its design in efficiently working from word go?.

The top mounts are efficient and work quite well 'up to' particular hp, boost levels. The bonus being the tract involved is short, maintaining decent throttle response. Another bonus with the tmic on suby's relating to the turbo/throttle location is ease of fitment. A front mount is a pita for what i want power wise (and spaghetti plumbing) and an upgraded tmic suffers heatsoak when stationary. You well know my requirements are street biased and utilising a kit that has removed a majority of the guesswork works for me. But if you like, i'll get you to fit the the 350chev shortblock pistons
