I want to purchase a aquamist kit this winter, therefore I don't have to do the FMIC till later on. I've heard wonderful things about it, and we all know how much harder are cars pull on a cool day, just think of that all the tim 
I plan on having the WI coming on at 8psi.... And I will ofcourse still use my IC, I think thats just a bad idea... I never see ppl running w/o an IC unless they are using a meth mix..

I have heard that water can shatter the apex seals if you're not carefull with the set up. It's like the ATF treatment going wrong and breaking things, not common.
The other issue is build up of minerals in the water, I've seen this happen on a ford truck that was outfittied with injection. Use distilled water.
Water injection should NEVER be used in place of good tuning. It'll only delay the end

14.7 is way too rich.....high 10's and 11's are the best for performance. I was told 10.8 is the best in rotary

14.7 a/f ratio is stoic(stociometry if memory serves me)...basically in chemistry a one for one burn(it's been about 10 years so forgive me on this one guys)so that when gasoline mixes with air and combustes, you'll get CO2 and H20 at the end of the tail pipe. Problem with running stoic is that you'll run very hot egt. The higher the number, the leaner the mixture. The lower the number, the richer the mixture. So rotary's under boost tend to like to have an 11.2 a/f...richer than stoic
