Check this link out www.designengineering.com (Thanks JD) For premade kits. I might upgrade to one of their kits if I can milk a decent performance gain from my homemade kit. I believe nitrogen could be used in the system for a more drastic effect, however nitrogen bottles are pretty pricey. The only feasable ones i know of are the ones off of a paintball gun.

The rice cars use it pretty effectively; as the co2 is extremely cold and is similar to, in a physical fashion, the chemical cooling that the water/methanol injection causes.

Nice work. Where will you locate your air intake to keep the C02 out?

Anyone happen to know of a head gasket that will install with standard head bolts, that is stronger than stock? Plain copper gaskets require studs; which arent available for the next couple months. Not asking about something really really heavy duty, just something to prevent me from popping them if i slap the water back on...
