it is supposed to cool your intake charge pipe resulting in lower intake temps (much lower). lower intake temps mean u can run more boost, and on a n/a motor make a little more power.
but when it says it lowers temp by 60% it doesnt specify if:
a) 60% of F (ie ambient temp 72F, 28.8F charge temp) - not much difference
b) 60% of C (ie ambient temp 20C, 8C charge temp) - a little more but still not much difference.
c)60% of K (ie ambient temp 286K, charge temp 114K or -162C) big difference.. although this is what the company would like u to think, it is highly doubtful that this system drops temps by this amount.
both a and b may result in 3-5HP on a n/a motor, and with tuning on a turbo motor maybe 25HP. c would get u some nice gains on n/a just because of the ridiculously low temps.
so in conclusion
. 4 bills for just the tank and lines?!?!?!? save your money, buy something else, NOS is way better value and results.

Completely not worth it. The gains aren't nearly as good as nitrous, the bottle will run out faster then nitrous, and you still have to constantly refill a bottle to keep the power.
Paintball shops usually charge around $4/pound of CO2, so that dinky 5lb bottle will cost $20 to fill every time (about the same price as 5 pounds of nitrous.)

nitrous oxide does not automatically induce engine damage. If that was the case, the company would go out of business. What kills engines is people who don't tune the engine after installing it. Nitrous is a lot like a turbocharger. You cannot just slap it on and go. You have to make adjustments before it's ready to run.
Furthermore, nitrous oxide is a drug. People get addicted to it and can't keep their fingers off the button. It wears the engine down much faster.
