I know straight water injection drops temps, but because of the lower temps, will any extra power be freed up? I've heard several people say no, and a few say maybe. Kinda like taking an HX35 to 400 hp then swappin on a bigger/better charger?
Also, what are some more budget friendly water/meth kits for our trucks. I know I get what I pay for, but still want to know the tried & true setups.

In theory power gains from straight water would be negligible. While cooler charge temps improve air density I'm not aware of it being significant enough for a noticeable power increase. Now when you add methanol that's when performance increases can be noticed. Though that is due to extra combustible material being added
