    got a local guy who is running the SSIC ( I know LAME ) and a 3.2 pulley with 1.9s and supporting mods...

    he asked me about running a dry kit and how much but to be honest with the IC there Im not sure???

    didn know how the IC would affect the nitrous intake... if at all...

    thoughts???? -Jarred

    That was the same setup I had on a previous GTP. Nitrous didn't work well due to the IC plates and trying to spray through it.

    so you think none at all or just a bigger shot? I have no experience with it so I dont feel right telling him what I think when I myself dont really know...

    I sprayed a 75 shot as well as a 100 shot. Personally I don't think it was spraying evenly enough into the cylinders. From personal experience he would have better luck:

    ditching the IC and running the nitrous.
    Keeping the IC and running a direct port nitrous setup
    get rid of the 1.9's and move to a cam setup

    A buddy of mine has Gen V/ XP cam setup on his Regal spraying a 125 shot.

    He has seen consistent gains with the nitrous and has pushed him into the low 12's.

    I have ran wet and dry foggers without an intercooler... but honestly after going through the blower, going through an IC would most likely no cause any issues in a dry shot situation.

    There is a chance of some condensation and other bad things when spraying a wet shot through a blower anyway.

    I didn think it would cause issues in the system itself I was just unsure on how the IC would affect the spray in general... like causing it to be less affective or something...
