for example, water/metha injection lower AIT resulting in better timing but water/metha have lower energy density than gasoline.

how about hydrogen, ethanol, nitromethane, o2, nitrogen(not naawwz), butane, jet fuel. etc?

i know some might seem crazy but i think others might work real well. Hydrogen is the one that has my atention.

Default Liquid hydrogen would work real well - talk to NASA about that

but seriously - substituting other liquids with lower heat capacity (or specific heat) for water would not do much good. If you want a richer mixture add more fuel. The methanol is there just as an antifreeze.

I prefer liquid Nitrogen, easier to procure and non-flammable. Good for cooling IC's.
