As a previous [and happy] customer of yours, I'm very happy to see this new design taking place. I just wanted to share an important point that should be taken into considerations at all time.

You had noted that water does a better job in cooling factor. I'm not in a position to dispute it or challenge it. I'll take it as an info coming in.

In F/I there two important factors than need to be take into considerations:
a) The boosted air is hotter than non boosted air.
b) Higher Octane plays a more important role in F/I than N/A.

I see you're pointing out the kit resolves the first issue, using water, but in many cases the use of Methanol is mainly used not only for cooling, but more importantly for raising the Octane of pump gas. I've seen an engine blew up as soon as the meth ran out on a race. Just to show you a drop in Octane caused detonation and blew up the engine.

I'm sharing this comment that the kit must conform to both benefits and not weighing on just the cooling part.

Hope this helps!
