    Yeah, I heard of some 1 using a largish milo tin (1kg)n putting a coiled stainless pipe from bottom in to top out. Seemed 2 work pretty well!

    ive seen some dry ice systems go pretty well on a dyno, i watched a 3.2L rodeo push close to 600 rwkw... it went pop tho.. lol the look on the owners face was priceless.. a bit of unburnt fuel got through the exhust where the cat was ment to be lol... and ignited out the exhust... funny ****... oh well

    i imagine if your to even THINK about mixing highly compressed oxgygen with burning fuel then you have to remember a few things... how hot do engines get normally????? letting a shot go off on a cold start could gut your engine, you'd need a new head for starters and a list of things i cbf listing
    before you even think about it you'd be in for a rebuild especially on a VN..

    foam, lol just remove your exhust at the headers next time you go to the tracks.. i mean theres a good 50-70kg right ;) and hell no restricted air flow
    i dunno maybe get some dry ice and load it into your air box...

    had it dyno'd recently?? how much is it putting out... i imagine with that go faster chip of yours it should be flying

    i think insulating ur intake (especially if its the cheap plastic pipe) with some good insul wrap would make a big difference, the intake does get quite warm, its right above the exhaust on one side. not knowing whats done to the car makes it a lil hard. But insul on ur intake, or even a bigger intake line with bigger actual intake, u could get a cheap nos setup that just shoots a shot into ur intake nice cheap way, oh & a leafblower as a turbo, Guarantee it works!!! loll

    find a shitty intake caked with 3" of grease/goop and whack that on. Should insulate your intake charge as good as you will ever get and give it a whirl. I have a HPC coated one which is supposed to be the ducks guts for reflecting heat. Feel free to give that a try if you are so inclined.
