Huh?!? You think 20% water to fuel, can move your AFR from 12.5 to 10.5 ..... ? this just doesn't sound right. have you tried calculating whats your Air to Water ratio?

I think you got it the other way around. 10.5-11.1:1 WITHOUT water and 12.5:1 WITH water, since with water you don't need that extra fuel for cooling the cylinder walls ...
Ah, but the second one is air to FLUIDS ratio. So fuel is effectively less than before.
Interesting take on AFR, but it assumes a linear relationship between fuel reduction and water mixtures added. I wouldn't be so sure about this one.
