Paul, are you having detonation problem? A competent tune should eliminate the issue unless you get some bad gas.
 
no detonation, just as asafety measure. I use it on my viper paxton, but unsure where to place it on a screw type supercharger.

I don't have any first hand experience but here is an interesting thread:http://www.modularfords.com/forums/2003-2004-mustang-cobra/why-is-no-one-running-meth-water-or-alky-67802.html?highlight=water+injection

steve, thanks for that thread, seems to lead to more questions than answers
 
Over a year ago I posed a question to Snow performance about water injection enabling a moderately boosted car to run on 87 octane. If you read the articles it seem it could work. I would never do this on a pullied car, but if you can run 19-22 on 93 you should be able to run 87 on 10-12. I posed this question for my daily driver Terminator.

No response from Snow.

i've been going through the modular ford forums. seems like injecting after the intercooler is the way to go, but much trickier.
 
Has anyone tried this yet?
