unless you have a lot of compression it is not necessary for a NA motor

I believe the water / methonal injection kits aren't used as a power adder but more so to cool the a/f charge so the engine is less prone to detonation which in turn allows you to run higher levels of boost safely without damaging engine, don't quote me on it but IIRC is what a few have told me

from what I gathered the main HP gains from meth injection is from the increase in timing you can run because of the higher octane it creates. It works in terms of cooling with forced induction, and is more effective than an air/air intercooler, but the real gains comes from the timing advance. But it does need to be tuned like that, and it could get ugly if you're running that much timing and run out of meth.
