Re: Did you see the timing graphs above for with/without H2O?
Pick a set amount of boost and fuel octane.
Get knock activity to a given amount. The chart above looks like a fairly aggresive street tune.
Set A/F at a given safe/powerful level.
Get both knock and A/F to the same with and w/o H20.
One Caveat. If you are going to test the system as described you should get in touch with ERL for their recommendations on how to get the most out of the system.
Also, just b/c it showed more timing and power we do not know if the results would have been the same w/o the wi.
I am for any product that shows gains within a realistic envelope of what the car is used for. The ERL product is of the highest quality and I really like it and the people that support it. But, show me the money(dyno with both ways maxed out).

can't go leaner
as I said and showed, going leaner (with all other constant) causes higher EGTs and once EGT's pass 980C, fuel dumps to lower EGTs. It might make a higher peak HP number (if that's what someone is looking for) at 5600ish RPMs, but before you finish the mere single pull, you'll be too hot and the car will dump fuel. Thus resulting in a high dyno #, but poor tune

most wouldn't think Hawaii, but it is somewhat obvious as it's surrounded by water...
Similarly, check Key West and you'll find it doesn't get above 96F, I believe.
Looking at the list, there are a few oddities, such as Delaware being hotter than Florida
