just be careful with these types of ideas.
if you're in a drag strip and you're dripping water in the staging lanes or getting their track wet, they're gonna rape your girlfriend and kick you outta the track. :P

Re: cheap, effective water/alcohol intercooler misting
Follow the links, learn some ----. Ford F150 fuel pump = stainless steel internals, get one at a junkyard. Buy a suitable nozzle, and an adjustable Hobbs pressure switch from NAPA, and "pow!" You've got a water injection system that works, and it will be reliable too.
This isn't the cheapest way to do it, but I don't believe that the cheapest ways everyone is discussing will work effectively enough or be reliable enough. If you're going to tune with water injection, I wouldn't want to blow an engine simply because I was too cheap to source the proper pump and burned out a windshield washer pump.
