Default Great writeup - thanks for that

something I have been interested in, got any more details on what APR did when they tuned your car? (lemmi settings or proprietary code?)
Thanks

Modifications to the software were done with APR's tools, not lemmiwinks.

Great article. I also confirm similar results ; +20whp and +35-40 lbs-ft torque (nominal peak)

Default I used a .6 & .7 when APR had the car. Now I have a pair of 0.7's. I don't recall

Aquamist specifying a location for the nozzles. I've gone through most of the discussions on their WI forum and they seem to lean toward testing to see what works best for each vehicle.

Thanks bro, just thought that my .4's with a large 100psi pump just seemed to flow too much

Default I'm not firmly set on that size, but after measuring how much water the two 0.7's

sprayed, it was around what I should have for a 10-15% water to fuel ratio. Since I've also upped the methanol percentage, I needed to increase the nozzle size. Aquamist recommends one nozzle size larger with a methanol mixture to offset the reduction in cooling that methanol has versus water. Once I get around to experimenting some more I'll try a pair of 0.5 nozzles and see if I can accomplish the same end result with less water.
