About 10-15 years ago a N/A F-Body used Nitrous in a precooler. It worked
well. Glad I didn't have to pay the Nitrous bill!
Dave, wouldn't best temperature for an Al block & head motor be something like
250 water and > 210 oil. Use the proper water & Silicone (reduce entrained air)
at about 40-60 PSI to eliminate vapor pockets ?
My guess is that most production based motors can't hold much over 30 PSI.
Can you say what some racing motors use?
