i am using twins to help aid in the lower charge air, although i do not know the air temp for my twins i suspect that they are lower than 220. my twins flow enough CFM at 28 psi for 900 h.p.! since there are two of them they do not have to spin as fast to create CFM's

I saw what I thought was a very nice setup when I was at XS Engineering's shop a few months ago. Very well thought out installation. They were running gasoline. N20 to pre-spool their turbos. Pic below

An air to water intercooler is the next best solution to N20. Since you are drag racing your reserve won't have to be too large so weight will not be a concern. Using ice can definitely drop your intake temperature below ambient air temp even before methanol is introduced. 1- X- drag racer's daughter that I know of uses it with very good results. My next door neighbor in Al kubo so I guess you know who his daughter is. She just landed a new ride and will start testing their new car at the end of this month. I'm hopping for an invite because one of her sponsors is going to be there and I am hopping I will be able to pick his brain about current N20 systems. Unfortunately, the fewer people the better when testing ( less distractions) and besides I would just get in the way.
Keep up posted on your decision and let us know your results.

The F1 guys mount their secondary injectors on the opposite side of the plenum facing their respective inlets. I'm pretty sure they do this to help fuel atomization at high RPM. I'm not sure how much of a difference this will make with methanol on a much lower RPM engine (or if your already doing it
), but it may help with the cooling effect.
