Great way of putting it!!!
Trust me, I was a big fan of meth especially when running high compression and an S/C but after the intercooler results, no comparison

Thanks lizzy, I know how hot these 2vs get after some hard driving. Even worse with the aluminum intake manifold i used to have!!!! PPL crap on the plastics a lot, but they hold onto just about zero heat.

I'm old and my dad is ancient and the old saying he pounded into me was "if you do something do it right or don't bother"

I'd be willing to bet the Alky Control kit with 100% mixture will run cooler and more consistant than any air to air intercooler, especially on a 80-90 degree day!

Lizzyfan, what are your IAT's? I'm not trying to start no online battle or anything I've just never heard of any air to air intercooler doing much for anyone...

I was using the Snow kit which is as good as any kit as long as it is working!
I'll take your bet!!!

Just a little above ambient on the air-to-air

Is your IAT sensor before your blower or after your blower? If it is before your blower you may be around ambient temps but what about the temps after the blower? With the Alky Kit it relocates your IAT sensor after the blower, right before the throttle body on the discharge tube. So after the blower, after the ambient air has gone through the supercharger and the meth has been sprayed, my IAT's were 95-100 degrees the whole time. Idk how your intercooler is setup, I'm not familiar with intercooling centri-blown cars...

As far as I know the Kenne Bell blower kits make a great air-water intercooling system and on my buddy's 2.1 intercooled kit, his IAT's wouldn't drop below 140 degrees. I don't see how air-air intercoolers outperform air-water intercoolers, let alone 100% alcohol injection...

Regarless at the end of the day, to each their own. Everyone has different setups for a reason and that's what makes everyone's cars unique, dispite people's differences.
