Nitrogen Intercooler Cooling Manifold...
I'm making a nitrogen intercooler manifold to supercool the intercooler for short burst cooling. Think it will work? :crazy:

It should work, my cousin used a similar setup with his Cuda when he owned it in San Fran. What compression is the max. I can run with a turbo, I know that superchargering is ideal around 8.5:1. Presently I am running 10.5:1 with @ 490 hp, just think it would be fun to add a turbo to it.

Granted, you can make big boost numbers with 8:1 or so but I've seen a local LS1 running stock compression, big cam and a Procharger running 7 PSI boost on pump gas. You should be able to do the same thing with a turbo. If the motor's volumetric efficiency is high and using a big turbo with low boost, big gains in horsepower are possible. Add some race gas to the mix and make some big numbers. :crazy:
I think this guy has the right idea... :eek:

It is always recommended to run lower compression and more boost then high compression and little boost. I run 8-1 compression and 12 pounds of boost which puts me close to 14-1 effective compression. I run 94 octane fuel and LOTS of advance but have a boost retart system for leaning on it. Normal driving advance is around 40 to 43 degrees. I run lean at normal cruising speeds, 15-1 and use boost referenced power valves that drop the mixture to 13-1. I get at least 12 mpg around town, never foul plugs or have heating problems.

Thanks Norval, SuperFast80 and I will make it down to see you this spring, he may need a break from the baby and now that my family is well I would just like to meet you and see your setup. :cheers:
