Insightful!

Clogging issue aside, I wonder if higher pressure systems lack the price tag for popularity, being what keeps them at bay? Little extra benefit for the extra evap, hmmm.

Those afraid of pre-turbo misting usually have a coarse spray. From what I read, 100 psi misting has a fair amount of larger drops over 100u, and some reporting of long term compresssor damage. With fine misting it is a non-issue.

What is concrete to me is that evaporation can be easily quadrupled (assuming the statement above is correct) in our dry air with a little PSI effort. BTW, we like the dry air, no mosquitos, and when I go bike riding in 115 F heat, I carry my AC on my back, 2 gallons of H2O.

Yes I see now how liquid is important at cylinder entry (especially with our 1200 F EGT temps). Some quick evaporation and cooldown there=charge density. Seems the effort is well served to make the dry air saturated before it gets there, especially when meth is used to enhance performance. The vapor of meth being more of an enhancement than liquid (which does not combust).
