I don't know about the rotors or the Wetter Wet, I'd see who uses them with success. Water injection I did use very successively in the 70's on a Ford 390 pick up. I ran 12.5 to 1 pistons, big hyd cam, ported heads, and a 4bbl carb. The 2wd long bed 1/2 ton truck got over 20 mpg empty, if we could keep our foot out of it. Loaded, it ran like a beast, all on regular pump gas...and water. An engine built for economy, could use water injection with high compression effectively I believe. The alcohol is usually used for an antifreeze fluid.
Good luck with your project.
