It would likely be safer and a whole lot cheaper if you were to just cool the charge with a water/methanol injection kit like the SNOW set up.EDGE Motorsport said:

Well….you should have your system retuned, to optimize safety and performance (especially if you’re worried about your engine internals) but your current set up should allow some leeway, as some people have installed them without a retune with success. What it does is lower your ACT temperatures by cooling the intake charge after it's compression. A cooler charge not only packs more oxygen molecules, but doing so will as a result able the computer to pull less timing to increases power levels. I can’t say for sure the particulars on the kit, as I have never personally run one. I’ve just got a big old heat exchanger up front, used in conjunction with a home built after cooler reservoir in the truck that circulates water (and for the track, Ice WaterEDGE Motorsport said:

Keep in mind though....off all the blown engines they've got out there. I'll bet my left nut that 95% of them have put on less than 30K since the install and I'll wager than 90% of that number has less than 10-15K on the engine since the install. You may be right, that most will hold out at those power levels, but only time will really tell on that one. I just choose to error on the side of caution.01BlkGT said:
