Water injection or Nitrous??

I am ready to buy the next step in my bombing project and starting to look into these two mods which I have no experience with and need some advice. With the mods that I currently have which one of these would give me the most useable power and what manufacturers do you recommend, I keep waiting for those EDM injectors to come out but I am tired of waiting. Thanks, Mike

Mike,
How do you like the turbo you are running?

I love it so far, for our 3rd gens with the TST stacked this is by far the best turbo HTT has to offer, it spools great and keeps those egt's in check and you can really hear this thing moving some air. Mike

Try the nitrous first. It is more expensive than water/meth, but it works really good on these trucks.

With your TST you can only use a smaller EDM that is specific to the TST we developed. It only adds about 40 HP. You will get more than 40 HP from a bottle of gas.

Mike,
I agree with Don completely! The water methanol made my compression really extreme (50 percent water/ 50 percent methanol). Head gaskets don't like this at all. The nitrous should be a great kick in the pants providing you have extra fuel to burn. This was on my 02' twin turbocharged ctd.

Your temps should be a little lower while spraying. I see about 50 degrees less with the setup I currently have. If you're looking for more EGT break then definitely go with water.
