I like the ballenger AFR500. But they are pretty spendy.
We use the Zietronix ZT2/3 at the shop. They work well. Easy interface to HPT
Not a fan of the AEM or Innovate.
If you are going to spray, I'd tend to favor pure meth. Or at least a 50/50 mix. Pure water will cost hp.
If IAT are too high, maybe figure out how to get to the outside air better. My vette reads ambient once it's running. It pulls air from the front bumper.
I'd like to see how you are set up.

My air intake is in front of the radiator and I even made a duct and sealed it the best I could for a minimal ram air effect through the front grills. I use an ls3 Maf with the built in iat sensor. It always seems to read a few degrees above ambient .
I really need to drive it and data log . I really only bring it out when im headed to the track!

Maybe I read this wrong, but are you spraying meth/water in a NA set up?
Just curious as to the purpose and effectiveness.
I had a meth kit in my old truck for the whipple and it worked well. But we are talking dropping from a much higher temp down to almost ambient.
Is this a setup where you are trying to use meth at WOT to allow you to run more timing advance for more power? (Comparable to the old trick of adding some race gas/octane booster to the tank)

Yes and yes if I can. I'm trying to maximize my current setup and not lose timing on hot days . GTO'S heat soak like no other . I figure if I can keep the inlet temps under 85 and maybe gain some from more aggressive timing then it's worth the $350.

Yes, mostly used at WOT and activated with a low/high setting through the MAF or MAP (0-5v) sensors.

I've been thinking about changing the IAT vs Timing table so it's not so aggressive. Apparently GTO's factory setup pulls more timing per *temp compared to F-bodys and vettes

This is the tricky part with my short intake tract. I plan to spray just pass the MAF and use a IAT breakout to move my sensor just past the Throttle body so when I'm not spraying it will pull timing like normal.

I get 55 gallon barrels of e85 its not bad at all $3.15 a gallon, check with your local Pacific Pride. I'm in Spokane so I don't know whats available for you coasties? A $20 plastic pump and 5 gallon gas cans it's a breeze.
