Default initial results from the IC sprayer.....

not totally happy with the results yet, but Im sure they will get better, I need to redo the spray bar, not all the jooce is hitting the IC, but it somewhat worked. I was using nitrous this time cause I couldn't find any CO2 in time, and at 16 psi the IATs were hovering around 90 degrees when ambient temps were in the 105 range. Now time to improve the spray bar....

N2O is a whole lot more cooler than using regular distilled water. Imo, Spraying n2o in the intake track would net you better gains than sprayin it on the i/c.

35shot with 800psi bottle pressure sprayed in the intake path got me 2tenths with my cats on (best pass with the cats off was 11.76 @ 117) best pass was 11.5@117 w/ cats. I will have some more times this wednesday with the cats off and 35hp shot and a 50hp shot.

could you do some IAT scans to see how your intake temps look like? I would like to compare.
