co2

has anybody heard of running co2 on a car, apparantly its safe,cheap and adds a small gain? Is it even worth it, if it is true?

I feel like this would be worthless, but it's been a while since I took any chemistry course. What's your source on this?

It sprays super cool co2 onto the H/E cooling the charge, not sure if anyone has done this on a cobalt though.

there is some kits for NA cars that adds a bung into your intake and sprays CO2 through it. So when the air comes in it hits the really cold bung thus cooling your intake air temps...i dunno if it works thoo

CO2 systems, usually called Cryo2 brand name are used as an intercooler cooling spray, a fuel cooler, and as a cooled throttle body spacer or intake tube cooler.
