I have the better part of an aquamist setup in my basement. i think it needs a few misc parts, but i am willing to cut you a really good deal on it 
...and in other news, i'm once again on teh phone with verizon since they ****ed up my bill again. i have a feeling fios will be leaving the building very soon.

We were when we first strapped onto the dyno but we figured we'd try 100% meth and she resisted knock much better and we gained another 2* across the board. I think 50% water if extremely helpful with an inadequate FMIC but with the Buschur Race FMIC we figured we'd give 100% meth another chance.
When he had the Greddy FMIC, knock resistance/power potential was better with 50% water.
Its kickass

alcohol will evaporate before water, so if your IC is inadequate, it will evaporate before it enters the combustion chamber, resulting in it being less dense. that's undesirable, obviously.
were the AFRs leaner with the 50/50 mix?

Yes water is far better at reducing air temps but does nothing for octane gains, which is why a mixture is helpful. With the Race FMIC, cooler air temps are taken care of so we can use the meth as a pure octane booster now.

you don't want the water reducing air temps. you want it to evaporate while combustion is occurring, which reduces the chance of detonation, so it effectively does act like an octane booster. in an ideal world, you would squirt your injection right into the cylinder, but that's not really viable.

I get what you're saying but in his case we tried both on the dyno and in his instance straight meth yielded greater resistance to knock so we stuck with it. I wish we had direct port injection setups in the evo's lol.

Bill is already making some pretty impressive power. I would be hard pressed to think there is a lot left in it. Maybe another 10whp. i mean that is from a 1000' view, the tuner knows best
I might be around friday if you want to meet up again. this weekend is completely booked. I will try to make time on friday since i know your schedule is tough.

As for FiOS I have luckily had no problems with them. As far as cancelation goes, I told them I was moving to a temporary place while I wait to close on a house because I couldn't stand my 'el douche bag land lords any longer & that I would go back to them when I got into my house. They bought it hook line & sinker and waived the "early termination fees" for me.
Maybe I won't go back to them, but as far as cable goes I see no other options...

Right now out of my apartment. That's all I have planned. I'm debating moving closer to where my kid will be on the Cape or staying local. Things are going to get very very crazy soon, so I don't want to be hasseled by my psycho land lords anymore about roomates who no longer live with me & I'm not going to have my new born in a house that they can't prove has been deleaded or not. Hense why I am just GTFO now while I easily can.

Turco, when I see you next time I definitely want you to look at my donut gasket on the downpipe from the engine bay. To me, it doesn't look like its seating right in the downpipe so I might have to drop the downpipe and adjust it from there. I just want your opinion because I don't want any leaks when it comes time to tune because an exhaust leak will also affect the tune correct?

As far as Rai, he is having baby envy right now, Mike has heard me ***** about it plenty. Haven't come home once in the past week to a clean house since he insists on tearing crap up to let me know he doesn't appreciate me not giving him enough attention.
Oh well, such is life, right?
