Any thoughts on intercooler spray kit?

Any viable water or co2 kit anyone done or looked into? Just external spraying to keep heat soak at bay and possibly small performance gain.

We have air-to-water intercoolers. Maybe you could spray the heat exchangers to cool the water? If you’re really keen to add something, look into a killer chiller (using the AC to chill the IC water), or a water/meth injection kit.

Are you actually experiencing heat soak though? I've driven the car pretty hard on 100+ degree days and it just keeps pulling.

It's been so hot that even after being parked in the garage overnight, everything is still up to temperature the next morning when I fire the car up.

2 folds with this upgrade that I am thinking 1: you can probably protect the cooler with a mesh with where you are spraying to protect it from rocks and pebble with lesser worry of lesser air flow that may impact performance. 2: trying to squeeze out every "easy" improvement to get better 1/4 or just overall driving experience.
I am not sure how efficient is the cooler, but my guess is that its probably designed to need as much air as it can get, it'll do "fine" at a track, but at low speeds (every day driving), it is probably going to soak and saturate. again, this is just a gut feeling guess. So I think a chiller/sprayer WILL help.
