Question Running straight Water

Long story short, I picked up a car that was running water/meth & pump gas and converted to E85 now. It is HOT in Arizona so I was thinking of running a tiny nozzle and spraying straight water to cool the intake temps. What would I need to change if anything to do this? I obviously would need to run a small nozzle to not affect anything, but any recommendations or issues with doing this?

Also, any idea on the smallest nozzle you'd recommend for this option? The car is making ~640whp now in the heat so hoping it will like some cooler intake temps.

Im also curious about this as I want to do the same thing. I thought about just pulling the Injection kit. I know e85 burns cooler than gasoline and thought there might not be any gains with keeping it for water.

The only gains I would see would be cooling the IAT temps, but would like to hear from someone who has done it.
