Default Nitrous/Intercooler?

Is anyone using nitrous on intercoolers? How much power difference does it make? Does anyone make a kit to mount a system to the intercooler?

Go with the CO2 its cheaper and if you ever had a mishap under the hood or leaks in the intake system you wouldnt loose your motor or possibly you life.

Ive used both Co2 and nitrous to freeze intercoolers. At 12 psi in our project turbo Lt1 Z28 it consistantly gained 50 rwhp and more tq from the spray(using nitrous). I fabricated my own sprayer bar and assembled a system using nitrous parts. Co2 is colder upon expansion so it will yield better results.

CO2 would be cheaper and more effective. Not sure about the temperature of C02 vs. N2O

I have read before that the c02 is definetly the cooler of the two but; just tried to find the difference between the two and best i could come up with is negligable.
