Im after a power increase, at least 100kw and water/meth injection alone cant give that to me.

By the same logic C16 or methanol wont give you the increase either then 
ALL of these things require more boost pressure and to a lesser extent more fine tuning of the engine.
I get what you are trying to say but the stress and how energy is released is very important, internally nothing reduces more combustion stresses than by the addition of water (heat and peak pressure), you need to do some research on it (plenty on this web site). Remember real engineers worked all of this out ~100 years ago, and car people are thinking they have invented thermodynamics
it was all figured out long long ago & its rules have been established long before that... The temperature reduction of the inlet charge is a minimal effect or component in the types of vehicles we apply water injection on compared to what it does in the combustion chamber.
Still everyone needs to pick what is right for them and if your motor can handle it and you want a one off hit then "power in a can" is the best option.
