As long as it doesn't become submerged you should be ok. A guy on the DFW "hydrolocked" a 4.7L about a year ago or so as the rods and pistons did not enjoy trying to compress the vast amount of water in the cylinder, lol.

water is not as evil as you might think!!! we used to "steam clean" a carburated engine by pouring 1 gallon of water down the carb... as long as you dont lose combustion, (keep it running) while your letting water in you wont harm any internals...."drowning" another story!!!

Forget all you think you know about supercharging. There is a book by a guy named Corky Bell that you should read. Supercharged!: Supercharger Systems-- Designing, Testing, and Installation. This is THE definitive book on supercharging. Get it at your library or buy it on eBay for less than $30. I would suggest that you purchase it - it is a valuable reference. A review here - http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Book-...5/article.html - This site is a really good one...
For turbo lovers there is Maximum Boost: Desiging, Testing and Installing Turbocharger Systems. This book was written several years ago, but it will give you the basic knowledge to get the job done.
Most of you probably know about BEGi. - You can buy these books here - http://www.bellengineering.net/ -
Another site where you can learn a little bit about supercharging - http://www.eatoninside.com/
BTW - Air gets HOTTER as you compress it. Why do you think we run intercoolers??? It gets COOLER as it expands - ie - let it out of the hose...

Gay-Lussac's law states "if a gas's temperature increases then so does its pressure". So if you heat it up, it's pressure is increased. What I couldn't find is if the pressure is increased the temperature rises. The opposite of a theory isn't always true. I'm definitely not saying your wrong, but if I bring this up to someone, I'd like to have undeniable evidence.
