thats what i thought too,

I also thought that until i researched more. I was looking on the snow performance web site they have a stage 1 kit and a stage 1 NA aswell as a stage 2 and stage 2 NA, and it says right on the description its for naturally aspirated. 
It makes sense to me that you can simply cause if the water/meth ups your octane and cools your intake you can run a more advance timing table, correct me if i'm wrong. You guys should check it out maybe theres something i'm missing here.

You do not have to be forced induction to run water/meth. The benefits are lowered IAT, running more timing, and added HP. The critical parameter is what percentage of meth are you running-you can use 35% washer fluid all the way to straight meth. There are several systems out to choose from.

I'm obviously not expecting the same gains as you would from a FI engine, but overall do you guys think it would be a positive addition. I also have HP tuners, so that should help the potential of the water/meth kit!

I'm sure you could do it that way, with these kits you can either set them up on a manual switch or to come on at the desired MAP kPa or MAF freq. So once you know that you could adjust your fuel and timing above that point.
