an IC does not drop your egt's by 200, thats wrong info. a turbo, and a IC then your tallking 200-300 drop in egt''s.

 

Don't know 3rd gen but I only dropped 50* with aftermarket intercooler.
Bigger turbo is best bet. H2O/Meth with a progressive controller will drop temps 200* for all but WOT.... great for towing. And temps climb much slower if WOT.
Just keep the meth down to 20% or less if egt's are main concern.

I go through way too much water to add any meth... 1000+ lph = about 150* drop for me. The CAC was worth about 75-100*.

I would go in order: CAM, CAC, then water. Address your breathing first, then add water. Reason? The cam and CAC are working all the time... you can run out of water, and will.

 

hey soulzoo, i guess your sled pulling, or towing heavy, going thru a ton of water.i just use it for racing at the track, ill get 5 runs, and still go home with over half full.

 

I hear ya on that one Just every day driving I burn 1 1/2 gallons a week (175 miles) and 2x that if I drive aggressively.

1000lph??? Thats 4.4 gallons per minute! Crazy!

 

I have the 7 gal tank. I will go through 1/2 of it after three runs on the 1/4 mile.

While towing, I will go through a tankful after about 75-100 miles if I set it low enough.

For just cruising empty and no pedal mashing, one tank will last from 450-600 miles, or about the same as a tank of fuel.

 

thats over a full gallon for 1 pass down the track, that doesnt sound right at all to me, but if it works for you its all good. now that i think of it, if i hold a gallon of water upsidedown it takes a little over 10seconds, so do tell.

 

I know the pro stock tractors that pull down my way burn 5+ gallons per pass. An average pass is 10 seconds.

 

Don't know what to say, that is just my experience. It is a Snow stage 3 kit, but usually keep the "coming on point" rather low.

 

yeh i have the stage 2, works pretty good for me. gave me almost 2 tenth's in the quarter, and 35 ponies on the dyno.i just never heard of such a thing, i cant believe its not quenching your motor.

 

turbo and cam before i/c...Mike Lazar (XLR8R aka Lazarsmith) tested some aftermarket i/c's and was telling me they didn't flow better with any of his fancy tools the diff was almost unmeasurable...

 

I agree try this first. If your going to add water it takes more than a simply kit to get any real benefit. I am running 5-625 nozzles a 220psi pump and a 150psi pump. Snow stage 3 comes on at approx 10psi boost on boost setting for the 220 pump and first 3 nozzles and hobbs switch makes next 2 nozzles come on after 35 psi. I do go through alot of water though. I only use were water is allowed if not I just live with the high egts for a short period even with all the above items with same turbo.

 

An intercooler is going to give you more and doesnt require a tank to be filled up. It is the upgrade that just keeps on giving. Our intercooler definately flows way better than stock, has a much higher efficiency ratio and a much larger surface area. The intercooler is definately going to be a better route for every day driving.

 

i agree that it is better then stock, hands down. but you aint going to see no 200 degree drop from just an IC upgrade alone.

 

thats what everyone keeps telling me
