CRYO2 Intercooler sprayer Questions

I am interested in purchasing a Cryo2 intercooler sprayer. Does anyone have any experience with this setup, and if so can you tell me the pros and cons with the system. Thanks in advance, Peter

i am using nitrouse with the cryo2 sprayer... it proved 1 hp on the dyno... but that was without any air forced in the front of the car. so i think it would make about 4-5 hp if you were moving.

Why not run water or meth injection instead?

The only thing to look out for

is CO2 leaking into the intake if it's an aftermarket that doesn't seal well. Other than that, have at it!

No its not You are trying to cool the air charge no? Water will remove that latent heat and is pretty cheap to fill up.

That seems way low...

I've heard of HUGE numbers from a nitrous-cooled intercooler...
