yes it would be to supercool the intercooler they have a normal purge button to hit while you are staging or whenever and they also have a WOT switch so you can use it everytime you go WOT

if you spray Co2 into the intercooler, in essence, you are spraying Co2 into the engine compartment.

your engine needs oxygen to run. take the hit to the wallet and run No2.

you will gain hp from the little bit of No2 that makes it to air filter, plus your intercooler will get cold as well.

Don't waste the No2 spraying the intercooler, spray it in the throttle body or carb hat. It will cool the intake charge and you will get the power benefit as well.

One of the local guys here did a No2 spray bar and the power difference wasn't noticeable. Ran a 50 shot through the carb hat and what a difference.

If cooling the intake is what your after go with methanol injection. Check out coolingmist website. Just my opinion.
