Got a lot done on the throttle body today. I should have it all done tomorrow, I hope. I should have pictures of that this weekend.

That takes care of the air, now the fuel is another thing all together. I've seen water aspirated cooling on turbos wander if that works on superchargers as well?

I plan to change my fuel rails so they don't go over the supercharger. This will cool the fuel a bit. Or are you talking about injecting water vapor in to the air intake?

YES Thats what I was looking at now I remember. The washer resivoir was used for the water and injected ever so slightly into the ??air tube??.

I have seen that. But I'm not sold on the thought of injecting water in to a supercharger. Not sure what effect that would have on the rotors coating.

I might try it some day. But I think it'* better to improve flow.

Dan - When you port the intake, are you just planing on cleaning up the casting and the roughness or are you planing on opening the hole a determined amount?
