I would agree with hondaride a small tuner... i reccomend the stealth II and wouldnt run your water/meth over a 30% mix which is winshield washer fluid

you will have to play with your timing for the water meth since meth adds timing, id go with a handhelf box.

You don't have to have a tuner. I say 50/50 blend make sure its distilled water. set the gain on low on the controller and see what happens. It can't hurt anything! Then just keep turning up the gain until you find the right amount. Problem solved!
