Nitrous intercooler spray

I have a 94 z28 with a STS kit. I'm currently running meth injection. Next summer I plan to run a fmic. I wanted to run both intercooler and meth. Also I was thinking about the nitrous intercooler spray. For a triple cooling effect. Would that be overkill or could I use all 3 sources??.

The only reason to ever run nitrous to cool the intercooler is if you aren't allowed to spray it into the TB. It WILL cool the intercooler, but the effect is much LESS than just using it as the usual power adder. If you are going to the trouble of plumbing a nitrous kit, you may as well get the real benefit from it. BTW, it would definitely help with the STS lag.

They claim to get an extra 50rwhp using the nitrous as a intercooler spray. That's basically all I want - Plus It's not a direct spray in the intake which means my stock engine should last a little longer. I really dont want to run nitrous I just want to run it as a intercooler spray

Just using nitrous as an intercooler spray would be like just getting a ******* from a $1000 a night hooker. BTW, anything that makes more power is harder on the engine. How many motors have you heard of that blew up from a 50 shot of spray?

IF you must, use Co2, it is cheap.
