meth and nos do the same thing? nos does a lot more than just cool the intake charge in boosted applications.

you are actually both right and both wrong. it depends on how nitrous is used. some people spray their intercooler with it (nitrous can be substituted for other gases in this purpose), in which black5thgen is correct.... all it is doing is cooling the intake charge

or nitrous gets used "the old fasioned way" and gets sprayed INTO the intake charge, in which not only does it cool down the intake charge but also acts like an oxidizer, just like it normally does, in which fastfaster is correct.

In our case it gets sprayed into the front of the supercharger inlet and adds around 400 rwhp, totalling 1160 ish.

it is you who is wrong.
read the tread to see in what context the nos was used. it was not implied anywhere that the nos was used to spray the intercooler. it was used as a power adder.

Well then... as you stated in an earlier post I don't think you'll be "bustin' its ass wide open" on the 5.0 Mustang that ran 8's anytime soon. lol Sorry I couldn't resist.
That being said, you are running some impressive times in your gen5.

that's why I said there are TWO ways. It was a generalized comment, IF YOU read carefully, I did not imply anywhere that either method was being used on the car. I was stating the different ways nitrous can be used, because two noobs, particularly one who has seen "the fast and furious" one too many times and refers to nitrous as "nos", don't grasp the concept of nitrous on forced induction applications.

but I guess I am the one who is wrong.... o'well.

Well not really since the Nitrous sprays into the S/C inlet, it does have a significant effect on the pre and post intecooler temps too.

Graham.
When sprayed into the intake charge, and not on outside of the intercooler, it cools the intake charge and when it reaches the cylinder, it still acts like an oxidizer, correct?

I'm not being a smartass/sarcastic.... I'm just making sure my original idea was correct or if I'm mistaken.

Absolutly correct in your statement.

At the amount we are spraying it adds about 2 lbs of boost pressure too.

Would you mind elaborating on this statement? This concept is new to me. (never had a car with two power adders.... YET. lol)

is it because you are adding so much pressurized gas (nitrous) that it actually raises the atmospheric pressure (boost)?.... so a rough idea i guess would be every 200 shot/1 lbs of boost.... so on a n/a application, which sees negative boost (vacuum) you might actually see 1 lbs of boost when you spray a 200 shot on it?

or am i wrong here and there is something else doing it......
