Default water meth injection on stock 3uz

I dont know too much about water/meth injection.. But i feel it would be a good idea for me cause i live in AZ. The car is VERY sluggish and slow when temperature gets over 110. Not trying to gain horsepower, just get some back for the summer and keep temps down.

Correct me if i am wrong please

Also if i wanted to go with boost in the future it wouldnt be a bad idea

if you are stock, it isn't worth it... the car is designed to operate and adjust itself for those extreme temps... the concept is there with meth injection when you have detonation issues related from boost, and yes it can help with high temps... but the minimal hp gain you would get on a stock engine wouldn't be worth it...

my 2 cents
