Default Water Injection, or Air-to-Air with water sprayer?

I think water injection would be more simple, but is air to air with a water sprayer more effective? Does anyone have any experience comparing the two?

THANKS!

read the water inj thread stickied to the top of the list! read the whole thing. they compare the two. water injection is far superior and is a little more complicated to set up right. injected water with the proper nozzle(aquamist)and at the proper rate(20% i believe) will cool the intake charge way down and also the bigger drops will cool combustion and prevent pre-detonation. all this cools the motor and prevents ping(very bad!)allowing you to tune for more power. the cooling actually robs power-producing power thats why u tune more aggressively(advanced timing and leaner mixture WAY MORE POWER). all that spraying the intercooler w/water will do is cool ya down a bit. and also make a mess if you want to try it unplug your window washers route them up by your intercooler and spray the ******. but like someone said youll get kicked off the track real quick dribbling water all over the start line
