Is it even worth it? Im talking about spraying it onto the intercooler/manifold between races. Noticable difference?

I don't have first-hand experince but i honestly don't think its worth the trouble. If you are looking to squeeze a little more out of your car, i'd say mix in a couple gallons of race fuel and turn up the boost.

...for a stock 3rd gen supra...i wouldn't even bother. Start turning up the boost with a nice FMIC then maybe CO2 would gain an extra 10 or 20 hp. It's the same concept as ice on an intake manifold though really

i watched a guy with a sti using it and he said that he has dyno proven 50hp using it. cant be sure if its true but i do know that it couldn't hurt especially if your turning up boost ect, cause the colder the air the less chance of detonation. all you need is a 10lbs bottle from oxarc for $60 (or a old nos bottle) then a braided line and a solenoid. basic nos kit stuff nothing that you don't already know but as far as the spray bar goes its easy to make your own. what you do is go to home depot or anywhere that sells copper piping, you get a strait stick and they sell flared 90 degree bends. so you can cut the straight pipe slide it into the elbow and then you could braze it or solder it like they do when they use it for water lines. then go to house of hose and get a JIC fitting that screw's into the supply line and drill your small holes and mount it. also house of hose can braze it for like $10. just a thought!

Grow a set and put a nitrous system on the thing if you want cooling and more power. The end.
