The reed switch is ok but I am going to set one up on my race car with the pressure switch so when it hits abt 10lb boost it starts injecting a dose to reduce detonation.

Just a suggestion.
A reasonable alternative to the normal water injection kit nozzles is to use the micro misting nozzles that are used in out door area cooling systems. They are a lot cheaper and are available in a many different flow rates and sizes, with a lot finer spray or mist than the nozzles that come in the water injection kits. I am pretty sure they can be bought with 1/8" bsp or npt threads and go down as low as a 0.003" nozzle.

You won't need much. A 60 thou jet with 40 PSI is plenty for a V8. Too much will obviously cause problems with over rich (if you run 50/50 meth) and possibly slow combustion which is what the water does. If you adjust your fuel mixtures to accommodate disaster may occur if you run out under full load.

Most v6 kits come with an M15 size nozzle and run over 100psi it's quite a lot of flow lol

Do you know any website that sell the outdoor nozzles?

Whatever you use you need to make sure they won't come apart. It's amazing what sound waves can do to things.
