waterspray - worth it or not?

I've got the Autospeed kit and did a few tests with it :

Thanks, Steve / whizzman - I had read the autospeed article - i must say that it is not really encouraging!

The autospeed controller is biased towards road use. To be honest for track use a decent nozzle, pump and water reservoir would do the trick just as well. Switch it on as you go on track, off when you finish.

If you are going to do this then you will need to carry about 50 litres of water and the weight gain will outweigh any power gains...

The Autospeed device is the best on the market, it fires the water spray when it is needed which is something a human will never know. You also have enough to contend with when driving without flicking water spray switches on and off whilst not even knowing if it is doing any good or not.

At best a water spray is a crutch for a badly specced intercooler.
