Greg's idea for a KS to turn on the light duty water started the wheels turning. A
simpler solution would be to use a second TPS to turn it on at say 1/2 throttle
and modulate the water up to WOT. This would work for all but the max effort
systems and easily control detonation/add power. Turbo motors couls use a pressure
switch/MAP sensor to do the same. The pic boys could probably just read the PW and
generate a water PW.

I always thought that an engine wouldn't detonate above 3000-4000 RPM. Just spin
it harder!!

I want the KS to turn on a big red light that says "take your foot out of the
throttle" and fix what is wrong.
