Water Injection?
 
I'm thinking of implementing water injection as seen here:

Mother Earth Alcohol Fuel: Ron Novak's Do-It-Yourself Water Injection System

I have a 2004 Silverado 4.3L (Vortec)

Wondering if I would see any change or benefit from this.

Been looking around some more and saw something on Gas Vaporizing...

Is this legit?

First, lookup (GOOGLE) what 'high humidity' (water-vapor) does for/to internal combustion engine operation.

Then, lookup purpose & effects of 'water-methanol injection' used in WWII aircraft engines.

Finally, draw your OWN conclusion(s).

could you clarify??? I've never heard of anything bad about water injection, but then I'm only aware of water/methanol injection systems. And those are usually for FI car, not NA!

Again, couldn't find anything about how "bad" water/methanol injection is ...

LOTS of details about diesel and gas FI cars benefits though!

Water-Methanol Injection: How Much is Too Much? - Diesel Power Magazine

Benefits of Water/Methanol Injection: Engine Builder

I never really looked into ALL the details but I can't find details on the dangers for the engine internals anywhere!

I've found information to the contrary:

Patent US4289508 - Device for filtering and for humidifying the admission air of an internal ... - Google Patents

You can download the Patent if you want.

Snow manufactures a system that works very well.

Dyno testing performed on "Horsepower TV" was amazing.

...there are literally 1,000's of Patents on useless concepts, impractical things, and questionable ideas.

...an earlier posting on this "water" subject: http://ecomodder.com/forum/180860-post10.html

...just for "fun" run though the numbers with RH = 100% and see what you get/need.
