+1 to that.
A/A is great for long hauls under boost, ie track days, autocross to an extent.
A/W is awesome for drag racing or short burst with cool down time. And you can get better than 100% efficiency with a A/W IC, where that is very difficult with an A/A

I mean, it was ok to try it when you were using an extra one, but man.. I hate to see you drain money into something that has no returns for ya.

it'll work. it would be near impossible for it not to work the way it will be setup. i think too many people are thinking that i expect it to work all the time and by itself, which i do not... we're putting 2- 10 lb bottles of c02 with two foggers and a possible sprayer, we'll try it with 1-10lb bottle first but with two foggers we don't think it will last but a couple of sprays. or i might just go with a 20lb bottle so there will be less crap to mount
and bseides.. i got one of those cheap $75 JDM ic's lol so it's not expensive and we're building our own c02 kit, except we will be buying the rings and solenoids from nx

i already got the videos of what i run stock posted up, with ait1's and 2's showing on the aeroforce.

yeah you can see the iat1's at 87 degrees, when i do it again it will be 87.
there's no fooling the video considering i cruised at those temps for about 10 seconds before running... why you trying to get out of it now?
next it will be " you done something to your gauge" "the humidity point was 2 degrees lower" "castro ran out of cigars" or something else

If the original plan was just to spray the intercooler with co2, why not get a kit that sprays the intake and cool temps there instead of adding the weight of the IC?

yeah the meth setup is great... I can actually put my hand on the s/c after driving for a while and it doesn't even get as hot as it did stock.... plus the throttle body and intake section is cold.... no timing getting pulled and I saw at least a 40 deg drop in intake temp... and thats with the 275 jet...
