Actually, water injection has its benefits to a N/A motor aswell. I've ran WI on several N/A motors and its really keeps the head clean and helps keep compression up over time from less carbon build-up. It really has no real advantage beyond that and I wouldn't throw hard cash at a nice kit but a simple pump and McMaster-Carr nozzles + $20.00 check valve and your good to go. Usually less than $150.00 will do it if you wait and hunt ebay for good deals on pumps and such.

Damn my post didn't go through.

Meth works on N/A, just not as much. It chills it out a bit, but get a CryO2 system and use that to cool things down instead, would be more beneficial on an N/A application. Actually screw it, just spray some nitrous.

^Really you wont see much if any gains with lower IAT's in an N/A motor, thats not really why I did it.....dont get my wrong it will cool down a good 20F or so but really how much power do you think your car has in the morning compared to afternoon in the summer? Honestly its not much on a N/A setup unless you got a great and mighty N/A setup like squirrel......I'd actually like to see a dyno test for that theory(it still might be negligible). Anyway, the only real advantage on a N/A motor is cleanliness and longevity for the most part, no real gain to speak of.
