"I have hard dyno numbers on spraying water ON the intercooler - they are good."
Please post. I have seen dynos showing about 3-5% gain with IC sprayers. Curious to know if yours coincides, or is better.
I am curious to know how at 10,15,20psi a fine mist of water injected into the air stream can just "fall out" of the IC. Maybe if the injector was the size of a garden hose nozzle
Now that's funny!!

Aquamist show a suggested nozzle point before the IC, but I think its a crap idea... the water will condense and the atomisation that is critically important will be lost in the intake and combustion chamber...

12 RWHP at 327 RWHP level on the intercooler WITH heatsoak.
8 RWHP at 405 RWHP WITHOUT heatsoak (first run with water)
Non-atomized water both tests. I am REALLY going to push the intercooler spray because of the limitations of the 951 intercooler space for a larger unit.
I will be dyno-testing exclusively water-injection (nothing else) next week.
Injection will be controlled by load AND IAT.
