#1, I am a street racer. Nuff said.

and #2 I already have a FMIC. 28 x 8 x 3.5. Spearco core thats efficient to roughly 700hp.

I am located in the south were its summer time all year round and the humidity is 100%+ everyday.

Are the any pros to the Ntercooler?

NX has the most retarded idea ever. I've seen people on dsm forums using bent up fuel lines that were drilled every 6 inches drilled and placed in front the the intercooler and hooked up to paintball c02 canister to treat heat soaked intercoolers at autocross. Mounting a paintball canister upside down did something i can't remember. Should freeze over your intercooler and be somewhere in the range of like 60 bucks total if you know how to do it

Edit

NX is gay and where are you from senor b16killer?

Turning a 20oz C02 bottle intended for paintball use upside down will cause liquid C02 to come from the bottle, not the gas.

Liquid C02 will indeed freeze it over...or rather cover it in frost. I had a burst disc on one of mine go in the car one time and the carpet instantly turned white from all the frost.

Anyway the cost of a 20oz C02 bottle is $20 or so and it's like $7 to get it filled depending where you go. You can go to places like Big R or sometimes even welding supply stores to get them filled.

i have heard that CO2 gase may react with oil. and its not good if you get some oil leaks (wich i have =)) or may be this is lie? cos i wanted to do ghetto intercooler sprayer with CO2. it's so cheap there. =)

nx ntercooler does not use nitrous, you use c02 not nitrous, and its a good idea, cause I got it.

haven't used it yet but I heard great reviews on it, and think about it anyways would you rather have a ghetto can of c02 setup which might be a pain in the ***, and a crappy looking setup, or would you rather have a 5 or 10 lbs bottle of co2 neatly installed, and controlled by a switch and throttle position, for amount of paintball bottles you need to buy, to match the amount of co2 inside of a 10lbs bottle its not worth it. the NX ntercooler kit cost $385. BUT ITS WORTH IT. also chech out DEI. or maybe you can go to the store and get a bag of ice and put it on your intake manifold

If it does indeed make power, then you would need to compensate with more fuel for the denser air. If you have the kit installed and "feel" the power, yet are not increasing fuel what so ever....placebo.
