Upsized the nozzles on my water injection kit from twin 0.4mm to twin 0.5mm nozzles...

...this seemed to allow me to recapture some of the lost acceleration I had been experiencing as the weather has warmed up to about 80 degrees. My car's still not as fast as it was on cool 50 degree days though (keep in mind I still had the twin 0.4mm nozzles spraying on those cool days). I got some 60-100 times in the high 5's and low 6's (including a shift to 4th). This is better than the mid 6's I was running recently in this same weather, but still not as good as low 5's I was running one cool night a couple months ago.
Sometimes, my car does tend to bog down a little bit with the twin 0.5mm nozzles as the RPMs get up over about 6300-6400rpm though -- I wonder, however, if this is simply an exacerbated effect produced by the limited flow of the stock intercoolers at that speed, or maybe it was caused by me not letting the intercoolers fully cool down before hammering it, resulting in intercooler heat soak quicker.
The car feels much faster in the 3000-6000rpm range though.
This is with the 7 bar Aquamist 1s system. This should be flowing nearly 400cc/min with the twin 0.5mm jets. Beforehand, it was just a tad over 300cc/min with the twin 0.4mm jets, which is what I was using before upgrading my fueling system with the AWE RSK04 fueling kit. Anyone know hom many cc's per minute of fuel that kit actually flows?
The other thing I've got to do is buy another headlight washer pump so that my intercooler misters get going again. Mine has been broken for several months now. Maybe in the fall, I'll upgrade those IC's finally.

Besides, I was waiting on AWE's water-air intercoolers.
In the last 6 months, I've spent ~$6,500 in mods, maintenance and repairs on my S4. I need to make it another 6 months paying for only gas and an oil change.

...I may or may not have gone with it. I was also wanting to see test results of a FMIC, but since I put on the bipipe (which I am not going to remove), that option is foreclosed.
