Re: boost temp.
sorry my bad on the 133*, I missed that 'to'. No biggie. He coulda used the equation anyways.
The water in a water/alky injection system isn't supposed to be cold. It'll work well at ambient temps. It is the atomization/evaporation of the water and alcohol that causes a huge temperature drop. For example, when the air passes through a carbureator on a car, it experiences about a 40* drop in temperature, just from the gas evaporating into the air. Alcohol has much more of a cooling effect than gas.
Filling up isn't that bad... If you have a guage its no hassle at all. All it is is water and rubbing alcohol... Water injection will work about the same regardless of the temperatures outside, unlike an air-air or air-water intercooler. But it is still considered a 'band-aid', but if it fixes the problem, who cares.
