methanol injection or intercooler ?
has anyone ever measured the intake air temp difference before and after the intercooler ?how much duz the intercooler really drop air temp,and for those that switched from i/c to water injection was it a good move or was the i/c more efficient .i am thinking off pulling off my i/c and just running a methanol injection my 91 it has 2 i/c and a lot of tubing for the compressed air to travel i think this costs some boost .so should i keep the i/c or get rid of all that tubing and run a methanol injection,thanks
