There is is a system made by DEI that is a cryo bulb that mounts inside your CAI inlet tube and can be set on a micro switch. It would chill the incoming air by as much as 60 degrees going into the throttle body. A 5lb bottle just last about a minute and a half under WOT.
I also found cylinders that could be welded up in the intake manifold and serve as an intercooler. They circulate water within the cylinder and the air flows around them getting chilled. This would work in conjunction with a heat exchanger, circulation pump and it's self contained water tank. The cylinders actually measure 1.55 inches in diameter. I would think we would be able to fit two or three of them inside the intake manifold. I found a company that is willing to try and make it work but obviously on somebody's nickel. Apparently, there is no significant amount of boost lost with this system since the air is circulating around the cylinders and not thru a core.
Lastly, I spoke with Sean in length this morning and he is quite confident the engine could be tuned running 14 or 15 lbs of boost with Methanol Injection. I just don't feel very comfortable putting that much W/M thru the engine.
So far, I like the idea of intercooled cylinders inside the intake manifold. This would basically require no maintenance and would have positive effects across the entire power band. It would also be very risk free since there is no finned core that could leak into the engine. All the necessary plumbing gets mounted externally.
