The secondary benefit of the inter-cooling effect is "usually" true with forded induction but cars with the internal inter-cooler don't benefit so well as the nitrous density is lost being crammed through the inter-cooler and density is where the power comes from.

I am not sure how thick or what your guys' inter-cooler looks like but on Ford Lightning they are 5" deep and the intake temps only dropped something like 10 degrees if I recall correctly. Horsepower did not even match the shot size past 50-75hp(lower) but torque was still up there.

Is that system even hooked up to your car or just having fun with these guys? The bottle is not tight in the brackets and where is that line going as the motor is the other way?

Looks to be just sat in there for a picture.

You can't deny the power of NOS, but to me it's just too easy. It's like strapping a JATO rocket pod to the roof. Then again, I've never been a 1/4 mile guy.

Kinda hard driving / spraying with a camera in hand, but I do have a boost

go to the dyno next time I'll get something to wet your pants I guess.

All I see are dyno graphs and your previous attempts on the ¼ mile. I asked if dk has ever taken his car to the track.

P.S. That second thread is a bit depressing.

That 2nd thread shows you that running on street tires gets you into the
low 13's and if your on drag radials into the 12's.
