i will eventually look back to water/meth injection but cooling intake temps could also be done with a dry ice box or cryo kit etc...
I think you have missed the point with this.?

W/M gives massive gains and its running costs are 1/10th of needing to buy C16 + its much kinder on your engine (that's been proven showing lower peak cylinder pressures along with increased BMEP = less stress for more power) .

The only missing element you need to take care of is your ignition system capacity *you will read that in the article I gave you*

So far as power production goes nothing will ever match W/M, durability wise its way out in front, cost wise after initial outlay its a no brainer...... and legality well, its the only thing you can run period and still enjoy your "road car".

if you want a simple one off hit of increased output, then you buy "power in a can" (C16) that is the most cost effective for a once off hit, long term its crap though, just as methanol is crap too or any substitute for petrol as your base fuel. W/M injection is the ideal, its in no way the easiest and lots of people misunderstand it or what its about and what you can do with it. But make no mistake nothing will make more power than that will while reducing stress on your engine at the same time.
