[VAC] Re: Vintage Puller Water injection



Shelby/ Spearco used to (maybe still do) make a computer controlled water injection add on system.  I believe it had a pump (or some other way to force in the water) unlike the water vapor system previously mentioned.
 
A fellow who did consulting work for GM in Mesa Arizona (and also worked for Doug Roe, a former fuel induction engineer and turbo charger expert at Chevrolet - designed the turbo Corvair in the mid 50s) used to put these on motor homes to help them get up long grades.  He used so much water that he hooked them up to the motor home's fresh water tank!
