i was actually at there booth at sema and they had a demonstration set up that they showed you how the c02 system worked. let me tell you it is no joke, everything that stuff touched and surrounding areas with in a couple inches turned white and frozen instantly.

Oh I didnt say it wouldnt work, the boiling point of CO2 is something like -100F, its just my opinion. How long would a typical bottle last spraying enough to make a significant (ie, worthwhile) difference? Any discussion of thermal stress cracks on the intercoolers being sprayed?

not sure how long a 10lb bottle would last , i guess it would depend on how fast you make it down the 1/4 lol but my guess would be probably the same as a good size n20 shot but not sure and would probably depend on how big your spray bar is too. intercooler spraying has been going on a long time it is nothing new to racing and i dont see there being any negative effects on the intercooler people been doing it for a long time

I havn't seen a lot of people talking about using the kits but to me it seems very effetive. I don't know why it isn't as popular as meth, or other types of charge cooling but for minimal cost it seems like a great idea.

air to water i better at the track when setup right , FACT
now i plan to do a system like this
the i/c to ice box/reservoir is always on or switched however you like , while the heat exchanger to reservoir is only used on the street on a switch .
two pumps , the line from my intercooler is 1" npt so i can run a nice fat hose to get iats down down ,
back in the day i logged 55* iats with a 3 gallon reservoir but it only lasted shortly ,a big 10 gallon minumum reservoir is needed after staging , this would be the reason for having both pumps on a switch so your saving your cold water for the water box and run . not continuously pumping warming water from the staging lanes which is a problem where i run .

Atomic Co2 is for spraying on the the intercooler, Phantom those intercooler are hands down bad *** i was looking at them earlier.... Im going back and forth between a few meth nozzles which will give me around 120 octane with 93 in the tank and the added benifit of cooling or air to water which will be costly but i will still need a high octane gas to run high boost!

i have ran e85 and ran outta fuel at 8#'s of boost, i figured it would cost me around 2,500 for the fuel pump and injectors i would wanna run if i did goto e-85.... I love e-85 i will actually prolly end up running it again since this methanol injection kit is 100% concentrated and will take some strain off my current fuel system!
