My thoughts exactly...

If you go lean, you are just reducing the fuel component
that was destined for 'cooling'. That's why everything
'goes hot'.
Apparently, you can substitute that fuel for water and
it will achieve the same effect.

My Camry's AF ratio gravitates to 14.53 constantly. Drive me crazy. Only time it gets above 14.65 is for a few cycles when you let up on pedal to start a nice coast. After a few seconds ECU gets its right quick back to 14.53. I believe it has to do with drive-ability and durability.
Water injection I hope would allow leaner ratio and cooler combustion temps.
I need to search for a good how to build your own water injection as the commercially available systems are too expensive.
