LOL- actually, I was thinking hydrolock.

It's the evaporation of water that causes a cooling effect. So in order to get a cooling effect by spraying water, you'd have to turn around and heat it to the point that it evaporated. Retro-active.

And it's not on store shelves because it wouldn't cool anything, it's not on shelves because if people went around spraying water into their engines, you'd hydrolock before you knew what happened.

The best intake setup I ever saw was at the track. This guy custom built an intake that required the headlight to be removed. The intake then went through the hole and out in front of the car about a foot, where the filter was mounted. So not only did he get cool charge air, but he also had a ram air effect of sorts (Even though you have to be traveling at Mach .5 to get any true boost from ram air). When he was done at the track, he bolted on his short ram, popped the headlight back on, and went home. Pretty cool, eh?
