    I've used up to a 75 shot and you can really feel the difference in power with the cooler mixture. It's definitely worth the money.

    I've heard nitrous is very cold. So if you're gonna inject something, why not inject a 20 shot (or smaller) nitrous rather than water to cool down the intake charge? You gain more hp that way too, right? Hey, afterall, what's your objective of injecting water into the cylinders? To lower the intake temperature, so you can raise the timing or up the boost for more power right? Well, how much power do you think you'll gain with water injection + up the boost and/or raise timing? 10-15 hp? What if the outside temperature is way hot? You'd be injecting hot water into the cylinders, right? So, like I said, why not inject like a 20 shot nitrous to cool down the intake charge, and get more hp at the same time? You should get a quite a bit more than 20 hp, since nitrous cools down the intake charge also. They cost about the same (around $500), so what do you all think? What makes you choose water injection over small shot nitrous?

    So, how many miles per bottle could you get? Even running a very small shot, would it be practical?
    You NOS guys need to sound up on this.
