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

This may be so but after 10 passes on the dyno, the car is definately hot and still stayed consistent. What kind of kit were you using and what was your meth mixture? 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!

I'll take your bet!!!

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.
