Check out this web site.

Yeah there was another thread on it where it was discussed and basically it's a waste of money. Yeah it works, but the benefits are negligible for the money you're paying and the short amount of time that you can get out of a bottle of CO2. I think that old thread might have got deleted though because I can't find it right now.

there are intercooler injectors in which you could squeeze isopropyl alcohol into the air stream to also help reduce the intake temp...

not so crazy if it can reduce your intake temps 10+ degrees...

sorta like a water mist injector..

the Co2 is like the compress air from a paintball gun... that stuff is cold!

I guess it depends on what your use for the CryO2 setup would be. For dragging it's a great idea for daily driver it's not. Basically you'll blow through your entire bottle in around 2 minutes.

Isn't Ford going to put the similar system in the new F150 Lighting?

Yeah I'm the one who asked about it. I do believe the Evo has something similar, it sprays water (rather an alcochol) into the intercooler to keep temps much lower, were as on this it sprays I believe towards the radiator? to keep air cooler, but uses alcohol, which works better than just normal water. But like you said, you'll go through the bottle in a day at max, if you use daily.
