Interesting blurb on Speedvision

[Bruce]

I don't know if even comparing the generation of lift to a chemical reaction
is even a fair comparision.

Might be a matter of the extra H2O being able to intially absorb more
caloires quickly from the manifolding, and then not being as preheated when
it hits the chambers.

Gotta look at the chemical, and mechanical end of any change.  ie ram Air
Might be good if it leans out an overrich combination.  Might be bad if the
air turbulence screws up the measuring of air volume.

I should have said my experience with Turbos has been they like cold humid
air.
