Bruce:
Awesome info.  Thanks.  What % of the intake charge have you "scrubbed" with
water?

Quessing I'd say probably over 10% at idle, and 5-10 at light cruise.

What kinda humidy (absolute) levels did you reach?

I wouldn't be able to venture a guess.

Also, what kinda setup did you have that could support/utilize 60 psi boost?

436 CID Pro Stock Pulling Tractor.  Diesel Bosch positive
displacement Direct Cylinder Injection (1300ish PSI) water
injection at 200 PSI.  Fuel Consumption in the range of 2.5-
3 gals per 15 sec, and 1 gal of water.  EGT 1520s.  Released
from a standstill, Slipped the clutch at 6,000 rpm, and 60 PSI
5 disc clutch.  Single stage turbo.  Uses a V-8 engine starter
motor to spin the water pump for water injection.  Other details
classified (HEHE).
