Aquamist Power Gain

Does anyone have any solid proof of power gain with Aquamist?

I've never seen any - so I'm asking.

I think not so much a power gain for the actual aquamist, I believe it lets you boost a couple more pounds lowering the risk of detonation. So you make more power from the extra boost.

From what I've heard, the lowering of the air temp causes O2 to be more condensed, thereby causing more power.

Yes but at the same time it also displaces the oxygen in the combustion chamber.

The primary objective of aquamist as i understand it is to absorb the heat from the combustion chamber to allow higher cylinder pressures (more boost) without detonation. An added benefit is cooling the intake charge.

You can also keep the boost level the same and advace the timing more, this will pickup some power too.

i read that it also rids the engine of carbon deposits and keeps it sqeaky clean
