Depends on how you are using it. If you are using it as a fuel system then I agree.
If you are using it to cool the intake charge, get a little more octane, and run a few more degrees of timing then I think you are missing out. I can easily add a few degrees of timing and my IAT go down during a pull (TVS2300 blower).
I do feel that it gets a bad rap due to folk putting the system in the engine bay area. I've got mine vibe isolated out of the heat in my trunk and have been running it for years w/o a single issue. I'm using it for the second case above. If I turn it off my car doesn't blow up on a pull
One of the big misses people do is run Water/Meth on MAP sensor with a PD blower. Makes no sense based on PD boost curve profile. You'll place the system nearly at full duty cycle well below 4k RPM. This means you have to pull a lot of injector out of the primary fuel system. If the system fails you'll be missing tons of fuel! BOOM!
I run mine off of MAF frequency and therefore it has a direct correlation to airflow coming into the engine. My system only sprays a little to start with and ramps up to full duty cycle only at 10-11kHz (aka my max airflow). This way I only pull as much injector as required vs. a lot of injector at the start (typical when running off MAP). Also, when you are in 5th or 6th on the highway, accelerate, and don't shift you will build a bit boost but really don't need the spray. My system won't bother spraying until the airflow demands it.
Install is here:
