    Guys im not talking about spraying N2O or CO2( LOL @ that) into the motor.

    Im talking about pure track use to freeze the intercooler before a run, especially on a hot day at the track to prevent detonation.

    Maybe have a buddy spray it with a fire extinguisher? Then you don't have any extra weight. I never heard that this would prevent detonation, I thought it was just to get that 1% extra power at the start. Hell by the time you hit the 60ft mark it will be hot already lol. For that price you might as well just save a little more and get the biggest possible intercooler, if detonation is your concern.

    Right, the point was that the Co2 or No2 that you are spraying goes somewhere.....and in independent testing they found that some of it get sucked up through the air intake...not directly, but they watched it happen. They found NO gains from the sprayer in and of it self. Now the alcohol (or just water like the stock Sti) will remove heat through evaporation. That I have seen gains from. The co2/no2 sprayers I have yet to see any decent results.
