I have the snow kit on my escalade (Nelson Motorsports installed it for me before the vehicle was shipped up to Canada) and it keeps the IAT at about 30 degrees above outside temp. Was heating up considerably more prior to that, I understand.

and as far as reducing IATs, i have a very knowledgeable friend who spends more time building cars/trucks than he does on his actual day time job who has repeatedly told me NOT to go with a meth kit because he claimed that he had little gain in HP from adding meth to his truck and absolutely NO drop in IATs from before the kit was installed. anyone have any feedback on this? i trust this guys opinion against almost anything and i doubt he would steer me in the wrong direction. i just dont understand how so many people have seen recorded and drastic drops in their IATs from adding a meth kit and his story is the exact opposite.

did this guy have his meth kit spraying prior to a iat sensor? or did he spray post maf? i have a hard time believing he didn't get any gains what so ever or cooler iat's. did he increase timing due to higher octane? if you just install meth and make no other changes to the tune, then yes your not going to gain a damn thing. its going to run rich and not have the timing it needs for the higher octane.

I have a Painless ColdShot kit in the garage but I haven't got around to installing it yet. Haven't seen anyone else using it but it looks like a really nice kit.

heard these are some of the best pumps on the market and can handle 100% meth if needed...

well after doing some more research of both Devils Own and Alky Control it seems to me like the Alky Control kits are superior to the rest as far as the quality of the kit components as well as hardly any recorded pump failures in the passed however many years. I like the fact that their kits come with stainless braided lines and AN fittings rather than rubber hoses and clamps also.
I installed a $35 eBay 1.5 quart tank w/pump and plumbed/wired it to the factory lines. Holds plenty of WW fluid.

I can sent you my Datalog for my car, it is not a GM but it will show you the drop of the IAT from 48c to 22c.
The gain, with the pump gas + meth i can rise the boost to 1.8 bar while without is 1.3 is the max safty point.
You need to know how to set it up correctly and where to put the IAT senson, because if you spray after the MAF you will not see any drop in IAT because the sensor is reading the hot air BEFORE the meth nozzle.
Man even my Polaris RZR is equiped with Meth Inj.
