^^Funny Stuff^^ Buy you are waaaaaay taking what he said out of context. He never said to tune to 14.7:1 at WOT. He just said that sometimes people will tune cars a little too rich, instead of just pulling out some timing. Its not technical mumbo-jumbo...it's 11th grade physics.

Here is the article: http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/resources/rich.php

If I remember correctly, he essentially changed the laws of physics by presenting some algorithms and discussing specific heat and other highly technical mumbo-jumbo.

So ever since then I have been tuning cars to run 14.7:1 at full boost, running 6 degrees of advance, and my water injection is pumping about 3 quarts a minute at full throttle. So far so good
perfect set up for nawwzzzz!! actually better pump more water in for that, better yet just run pure methanol in the water tank for added safety.

I guess you didnt get the memo either... didnt you know that the latent heat value of Methanol is only 1109 kJ/kg versus the 2256 kJ/kg of Water? Come on man, its 11th grade physics. dont you know about the killajewels??!
