Water injection's only really worth it for modified cars, the gain on a relatively stock vehicle is minimal. The other option which is easier to rig up is an intercooler spray, like on Subaru Impreza WRXs and so on. Basically, you need a pump, a couple of misting nozzles and a water tank (screen wash reservoir will do) and you simply hit a button on the dash.
IC sprays can reduce inlet temps by 10 - 15 C which helps a lot.
The intercooler works more like a heat sink than a radiator, so ironically the best time to use an IC spray is when you start caning the car, i.e. when you first give it full throttle.
