I wouldn't recomend the cooler..what I would suggest is buy a mrfreeze kit they are awsum...
ORIGINAL: AdderMk2

both would be safe, as long as you used the nitrous correctly. However, methanol systems have actually caused hydrolocking if the system fails from an improper installation... Just set it up right and youll be fine. I however would really recommend a water to air intercooler, like the vortech aftercooler
how about you tell him WHY you dont recommend the cooler...

Maybe because its enough to cool down a 700hp 03/04 cobra.... that must make it overkill....

Id rather have a cooler to drop water and ice into instead of having to spend money any time I run out of methanol

well first windshield fluid is what buck a gallon...2 how much that cooler cost???? 3 coolers don't make the same horsepower which means at a flip of the switch it's almost like nitrous4 less weight..5 no piping to deal with..shall I go on.... don't be so quick to argue with something else that's out there you haven't used

i'll do a role reversal here maybe this may help understand




New from AFM, methanol/water injection. Mr. Freeze is simplistic, yet effective. Being activated by boost and metered by jetting, Mr. Freeze is easily optimized. Mr. Freeze is an easy bolt-on for all centrifugal supercharges and turbochargers. In initial testing, AFM has documented up to as much as 90 additional rear wheel horsepower using 93 octane pump gas. With the proper tuning and 100 octane racing gas, Mr. Freeze was capable of an additional 115 rear wheel horsepower! See dyno below.
Failure to re-tune the combination for the Mr. Freeze System will result in a loss of horsepower. Here's the best part, you can buy the methanol/water mix for as little as $1.99 per gallon. At $189.00, nothing on the market today can offer you the horsepower per dollar value of Mr. Freeze.
PMS Tuning Tips for Mr. Freeze
For cars already properly tuned on pump fuel with the PMS
using a centrifugal supercharger:

Make a base run and watch the Air Charge Temp in the PMS and write down what it is at max boost. After installing Mr. Freeze, make another base run and again watch the ACT in the PMS at max boost. You should see a drop of 60 degrees or more. Given these results, on average you should be able to go into your PMS and lean down WOT fuel tables by 6% to 10% and add about 9 to 15 degrees timing at WOT or in the boost tables.
This should get you close on the tune.
