They do work really well. But no for use on lower compression motors unless they are boosted.

Water injection was originally used to help quench high compression engines.

My brother uses it on his turbo truck.  He/(we) sell snowperformance pieces.

Great on boosted apps.  it is marginal on non boosted apps.  the meth burns cooler than gas .  turbos burn hot with high boost and high advance so it helps advance timing with out det.
