with them a.i.t.'s, they can't turn the boost up much more with any effectiveness.

I'll bet you could get rid of the meth all together.
Would there be any room for an air/water intercooler back close to the turbo?

As for the Meth I would most definately keep it. Mainly because if I could get close to 100deg IATs with just an IC then spray the meth and I would get 60deg or better IATs. If you look at cars the run meth as gas their intake manifolds actually freeze from being so cold, well not freeze but run very cold. Plus I need the added octane/fuel with using such small injectors and stock pump
What duty cycle are those injectors at?

Ahh, I didn't wanna do the air/water just because of more plumbing issues. I just wanted a simple air/air setup Plus money is a concern now.
Not sure what the duty cycle is at on them right now. I have yet to get any data logs on it since it's been in the shop awaiting the insurance guy to cut me a check. I'll ask Rick to give me all those details if it hits the dyno today. My tuner is real big on making sure the injectors are running low duty cycles and advocates using 30lb injecotrs on even small bolt-on LS1s so I'm sure he is tracking all that.
My ATAP doesn't wanna work and I can't afford EFILive yet.

i was thinking that one mounted between the box side and the frame with a fan blowing on it like the remote mounted transmission coolers use would work out well and keep it clean. you could also only have to run the fan when the a.i.t.'s get up high.

Ease of install, huge difference.
