[s-cars] FMIC Alternatives - ROT thoughts

[Bruce Mendel]

Most efficient setup is to let the air get cooled by the intercooler, and
then just before it goes into the throttle body, inject fine mist of water
into the airstream. Typically, at the track, it'll pull an additional 50-70
degrees F out of the intake air temps.

Not to mention the shiny clean insides of the cylinders due to the steam
cleaning.
