Spraying Intercooler?

Spraying the intercooler. Is it worth it on these cars? I have a 10lb bottle from a Big Shot Kit I had on a mustang. I hit it with a 300 shot off the line til the 98mm turbo kicked in lol. Since i'm leaving on boost now I figured I could find a use for it. Let me know what you think. Car is stock now but have a 15% pulley, BPV and plugs on the way.

lol oh yea it'd run real good for a few seconds. How does a 40-50 shot work with stock motor and trans with above mods? Is it safe? lol

The trans will handle it fine, the stock transmission handles 300hp without problem, and it has been shown to be able to go much higher.

The stock internals on an S are forged, so it could take it.

So pretty much a 50 shot should be safe then. Anyone on here running nitrous?
