What's the benefit and/or difference in doing this vs. just spraying at the TB on a s/c car?

TIA,

Spraying Nitrous accross the intercooler cools the air charge more and that can equal power but I doubt it's very cost effective. When racing an intercooler can become heat soaked while sitting around waiting for the next run so I'd gather a nice cool down shot would help some. The Icy shock might not be so good for the intercooler itself tho but that's for someone else to ponder.

Jay,

Spraying across the intercooler helps bring the air inlet temperature down, thus creating more horsepower because you can run a more aggressive tune. Most classes don't allow 2 power adders, so they spray the intercooler instead of the motor.

How about using just water or CO2?
