you can not get to cold. I had the intake on my bbc truck frosted over. with two 14gph and a 12gph nozzles spraying at once. 717rwhp on mustang dyno at 5800rpm and ran out of pump, after new fuel system we spun it up to 6900 but never put it back on the dyno. frosted the intake many times
my gto, and a buddys vett is on e85 with meth,

There is a guy I race with in Real Street 275 that has a blow through carb set-up S476R T6 1.32 AR 96mm turbine turbo and a 5.4v modular motor on 29psi of boost.

When he comes back to the pits after a run his entire intake manifold is frosted over.

Now this is a blow through set-up and since the fuel in a blow through set-up has a longer time to atomize with the incoming air the IAT drop is much more significant than in an EFI application.
