you would probably need a fmhe first and then the results wouldnt be what you expect because we dont have an intercooler, our aftercooler doesnt cool the air down it just reduces the heat soak of our intake manifold cause of the hot ass sc that sits on top of it

might work if you move the heat exchanger in front of the ac condinser,or get a aftermarket heatexchanger, btw aftercooler,interrcooler same thing. ours is just a air to water intercooler insted of an air to air intercooler.

but in theroy it should work, it would cool the heat exchanger that would cool the water inside , that would then cool the air inside the intercooler. but money might be better spent on a water/ meth kit, or a dual pass endplate

Umm, it does stop heat soak as well as cooling the air down.

intercoolers and aftercoolers are not the same thing! one doesn't use water apposed to air to cool the intake charge, one cools the air and one cools the manifold plain and simple, with an intercooler you can directly chill the air with the fogger kit your talking about and the chilled, pressurized air goes directly into the engine, with our setup your just cooling off hot coolant and then heating it up again which is going to help heat soak but its not going to give you those instant tempeture drops that make n02 fogger kits so notorious for making big power

I just bought it...for $80 you can't go wrong. I plan on setting it up with this heat shield :

Got to hand it to GM designers to put it where they did witjh no direct airflow and sandwiched between 2 other hot items. Talk about design flaws.

that's cause evo's have air to air intercoolers. You guys are gonna see minimal results with an intercooler sprayer. Is there any way to set up an ice-box for your cars? is there room?
