On the episode of Monster Garage when they built the blazer for pikes peak, I think they added a water mister to blow in front of the radiator

The only downsides are:
1. If you use the spray in dusty environments, you can create a nice mud pack in the intercooler fins
2. Extended use with untreated water can produce calcium buildup and/or corrosion problems
Other than that, enjoy!

I guess you guys missed the super soaker water gun and washer fluid combination? The kid made a flame thrower from hell and burned a garage door 20- 30 feet away.

there's enough alcohol in washer fluid to burn?

Around 1980 I had a 92 series detorit and it was built as far as I could go. It was normally fine but out west on the passes it would overheat. I did that, installed spray heads and a couple of ww washer pumps on a five gallon plastic can. Did not cure all but let me get over some of the passes without stopping to cool off. Other trucks would get me on the CB and tell me I was leaking from the front.

Take some and try it some day. It will burn almost invisible so don't get your hands and face too close. It's kinda cool to see, what you can see anyway. So in answer to your post yes there is enough in there. The Mopar concentrate uses methanol in theirs, some others use isoprophyl.

A few years back some one on the TDR dyno tested cooling the intercooler with nitrogen. There were no HP gains.
