Ok so I am looking through the Group buys today and see the Aquamist GB going on, Seems pretty and to the point, and I understand the whole concept
My question is, who is using it, and what are you benefitting from it. What type of boost increase are you seeing and what fuel/ motor combo do you have it running on.
I also found a little cheaper kit for those that do not want to spend all the cash on the Aquamist system

well the guy hooked up the alcohol setup and on its first use there was a difference of 60whp, gained 60hp just by cooling, nothing else was touched. There still more that has to be done with it but thats a very good start if you ask me.

I know Dragon and a few of the guys here have it. But we also have higher octane fuel here. I am trying to get a basis for the statesdie guys. The Buick Grand National guys have been using it successfully for years But they don't use systems as complicated as the Aquamist systems. I figured this might be a good thread to get started for the guys that have the system, or are about to purchase a system to get some feedback from the rotary community.

Seems that not many people actually have it over here. I'm very interested in it though.
Maybe Dragon can give us some info on his setup and how he hooked it all up. Meaning what water tank, how much water you use, etc...
