purge on the radiator? Has anyone purged onto the radiator that would give it (the engine) a cooling affect i would imagine.. how did that affect your car? if its not good to purge on the radiator where else could you mount the the purge nozzels in the engine bay.. i wouldn't want to purge to show off that i have nitrous so some secret purge hints or tips would be cool.. i dont have an f-body (yet) but is definatly something im looking at as a next car

I had thought the same question. I'm sure it would work to some degree. I just put my purge in the old fashioned place in back of the hood.
I do notice that after I spray though, my engine coolant temp goes down about 10 degrees or so.

i have thought about this as well, why waste it when it could serve a dual purpose. couldnt hurt anything but im not sure a single purge would be enough to make a difference

I remember reading about people purging it onto their oil pan and cooling off the oil a little, this was on some serious drag cars also, I don't think they were even running radiators. I say go for it its not gonna hurt anything, just make sure your fan is off or the nitrous is spraying with the fan not against it.

if i was to go with nitrous on any car i would at least purge somewhere in the engine or the radiator as a cooling affect and not to show it off.. a dry kit purging isnt even nesecary(sp?) is it. its if you go with a wet set up youd want to purge?

FYI, momentary cooling of a purge isn't going to make any difference because it only soaks up a relatively small amount of heat.
