Question NX intercooler??

Has anyone tried this instead of a 50 shot of NX? Or is it about the same thing? What kind of gains would you guys think are possible?

The NX N-tercooler is a tube that mounts on your intercooler heat exchanger. Is has tiny pinholes in it, and it uses either nitrous or CO2 gas to blast out of the holes and supercool your heat exchanger. It's more popular for air to air intercoolers. Our trucks have air to water intercoolers, so we can do the same thing as that with ice water.

How safe is it to run ice water in the intercooler system? Can you do that at the track only or could I put in ice water at home and then drain and put in more ice water at the track?

I think Sal was referring to some sort of a powercooler....not just putting ice in the IC system.

Sal??

Back in 99, the early Gen 2 "tinkerers" like Spiro, JL, and myself used to simply use ice water, and just drain it and refill it. Aside from the fact that it was a pain in the butt, if you left the water in there you'd get mold and algae growing inside everything. I had to replace my entire intercooler water system because of that. Using something like a powercooler does the same thing as the N-tercooler, is more effective, and cheaper.
