CO2 carbon dioxide is really cold stuff. this kit looks like it could help reduce air temps of intercooling making big power numbers and could be a additional add on to water/alky injection!! should be able to lower the temps drastically.

cheap too, can get the tank filled at Paintball gun places or other stores for like welding supplies and probly more places.

The only problem I could possibly see is if any of the CO2 was to make it into the engine through the air filter, the engine wouldn't like it and it would hurt performance. Other than that, it seems like a good idea.

they also make some kit to spool turbos off of CO2. Not sure how that works but it was at SEMA 2004

Interesting. I was thinking about using the NX NOS intercooler cooler kit but his would be ALLOT cheaper to operate...

Heres a link to my post about this recently, containing lots of links and info. Though not too many replies.

Any of you with power adders using CryO2?
