Nope, you have to have some wetting of the manifold.  In EFI you can just
about rule it out.

So who needs a high pressure fluid pump?.

NOS is operating at like 800 PSI, and you'll probably not have that presure
available.   Your at least warm on nozzle location.

Need a system that just overwhelms that condition.

Exactly right.
You have to decide which you want.

Vaporization displaces some volume of air.

Also depends on what you think water actually does in the chamber's
reaction.
