Default Nitrous to cool intake charge?

I am working on a twin turbo E85 5.3 setup with an air to air intercooler and was thinking I could use a small dry system to help cool it even more. Something in the 50 to 75 hp range maybe?

Yes that is what most guys do. You could put a single dry nozzle in the intake and it will help cool the air charge, and the car will also pick up some HP and torque numbers. Most guys run about 50-75HP as you mentioned and it works great. Let me know if you have anymore questions.
