So then if your intercooler springs a leak you bump up to the fuel class???

Another suggestion is to use alcohol and dry ice. Cool the alcohol in a dry
ice bath and then spray the alcohol on the intercooler. Flammability
considerations might make this undesireable but alternately the alcohol
could be injected directly into the intercooler intake to cool the incoming
charge well below ambient. Dry ice is easy to handle and store-- a foam
cooler is all that is required. The simplist approach might be to use the
alcohol as fuel to run the engine, too, and dispense with gasoline
altogether. Otherwise, it probably would need a method of adjusting the
gasoline/air mixture to the lean side to compensate for the alcohol added to
the incoming charge. I haven't tried it, though....has anyone else heard of
someone trying this?
