Salvage....
...all the Flojets I've tested all run deadheaded ok. They'll run up to their individual max pressure then just sorta chug along. I can't remember the exact current draw but it was on the low side, say maybe 11 or 12.
If you want a nice pump, money no object, get the one from Carrolls Supercharging out of NJ. 973/835-1705. They call it a "high pressure water injection pump", and the only part # I could dig up is A25011. As far as I can tell, this is a custom built, older style, dual chamber Flojet. It can be ordered with any one of 5 cam drives, which increase pressure. I use the next-to-lowest pressure cam, rated for 1.66 GPM (a 1.15 is standard, a 2.35 the highest). This delivers around 85lbs at a sustained flow through four, 1.0mm nozzles, at about 8 amps.

Thanks for your thoughts, and the benefit of your extensive experience Steve! I've always wondered about the intake charge cooling effect, and thought about the same. Essentially that the up-pipe is not a radiator, and the liquid captures the heat. It's the steam that carries the heat from the cylinders...IMO

I'll go ahead and amend the above to read "not needed until boost levels reach 25+".

Thanks again.
