Default Is this gonna be a problem? (nitrous related)

I ran all my lines and mounted the solenoids for my wet nitrous setup. I put the nozzle in and put it right in front of the IAT sensor. Is this gonna be a problem when the nitrous hits the sensor? Here is a pic so you can get an idea of where I put the nozzle. The yellow arrow points to where I put the nozzle.

Seems to me where spray is so cold as it exits the nozzle it would cause the car to run rich since its sensing a cold air charge.

You will be fine with that set up,if you are concerned with the sensor getting frostbite you can relocate the sensor closer to the air filter

Well I really don't want to risk the car going rich because of the sensor getting cold. I had just completely forgot about the sensor when I pulled off the elbow and started drilling. I guess I can use this as an excuse to get a polished Trickflow elbow.

That's exactly where mine's at since 7/07ish and I haven't moved it yet. I felt stupid after I got it hooked up cause I didn't even think about the IAT being right there. Haven't had the SES light come or any codes set or any troubles at all with it, like a few said, it might be running a little rich. I'd rather run rich than lean, especially on the bottle. It's held up just fine for a couple 100 shot runs and a few 50 shot runs also.
