I did wonder about the track issue. Do you think a fine mist on the IC could leave enough residue behind to be dangerous on the last half of the track? I was planning on pushing the button to turn it on shifting into third so it would be working through third and fourth, I was worried about that very problem at low speed, leaving water behind.
Would it be unsafe for others to spray it when already travelling at 60+ mph? I think it would just disperse, but if any of you high hp slick tired rwd guys would have a problem with something like that, please chime in so I don't cause a problem.

Also when spraying meth, ever notice why at big events if their are jet cars they run at the very end? The fuel leaves a film on the track that isn't racer friendly.

Don't waste your money....
If you want to cool your charge think about some water injection or a ***small**** shot of nitrous to cool your intake.....

nitrous would only do more harm than good. if your on the verge of detonation, last thing you wanna do is add more air and no fuel. basically if you take the EGT's of a NA motor on nitrous, yea it will cool that intake charge, but those EGT's will be noticeably higher, indicating high cylinder temps.Razor's kits are probably the most advanced ive seen around. being able to use alcohol, or methanol is good, because your actually cooling the charge down, and adding fuel.
