Nice cars!
What kind of performace gains did you see with the N-tercooler set-up. I have been considering one for some time.

To be honest I don't know what kind of actual gains you get from a kit like that. But the point of using it isn't really to gain hp but more not to loose hp. This will help your turbo car on hot days at the track, when humidity is high. The majority of the turbo cars will drop 2-3 tenths (even half a second) from their normal time but you you'll be pretty much in the same average you do normally.

I would not really recommend to buy something like that if you are on a budget, other less costly mods should come before this. And there's no need to buy those N-Tercooler kits they sell, just custom made your own one and save some money.

Thanks for the insight, a custom Alky kit is a much better modification for my combo.
I can run much higher boost all the time for less money.

Thanks

Alcohol is like heroin... Once you use it, your hooked. I have many mid 11 sec passes on alky and 93 octane pump gas. For a street driven turbo buick, I can't think of any other upgrade that will give you the gains that Alcohol will. Once my pump went out on my Alky kit and I could not use it for a month. It was horrible, every time I got done driving the car I felt like I was going through withdrawl.


I am a certified alkyholic.

Hypsi87 what kit do you run been looking at Razor's kit from www.alkycontrol.com

[Hypsi87]

I run SMC dual nozzle alky kit with two number 7 nozzles.

Razors kit is nice but, it's not all what he talkes it up to be. Progressive kits are not a new thing. SMC offers it as well. They both have their ups and downs. I just went with what was cheaper for me at the time. Steve Chalpusa from SMC gave me a real sweet deal on my alky kit.

Thanks, I will look at SMC!
