I've got it on mine and it's well worth it if you have some sort of power adder like a supercharger or turbocharger. If you're N/A then it's not really worth it. The gains would be minimal for the cost.

With a power adder they're great. Not only do tehy cool the air, thus making it more dense.. but they increase the octane rating as well, thus allowing you to run a much more aggressive tune and timing. That combo = great HP gains.

yes, that would be better for your engine in a sense, but what samseed was saying is that you would not feel as much of a gain if you don't have a power adder..

so i dont think without a power adder that it would be worth it, you still need to fill the bottle up with whatever (windshield washer fluid) when it's empty, kind of seems worthless unless you are getting big gains

also:

If you are looking to just cool engine, it may be cheaper to get a cooler thermostat and cooler plugs

Exactly. the N/A kits run about $400 and if you're lucky you'll gain 25 HP. There are much cheaper ways to gain that much HP. And then you have to keep filling it up.
