Smile water injection or intercooler?

I have a 69 camaro with 93 LT1 with a procharger p1sc.I am running 9 lbs of boost with 9.2 to 1 compression.I am currently running a low cost water injection kit.The car runs 11.60s now .My question is will i benefit from a inter cooler enough to make it worth while.Thanks for any input.

Re: water injection or intercooler?

Do you have a data logging program? Check you IATs and search to see what others have. I have seen about 120* on the dyno when it was 70* outside. You would most likely see gains but you have to weigh that against the cost involved if you care about spending money.

exactly. You WILL see gains, but u just gotta figure out if the gains are worth the money. Maybe try picking up a used intercooler kit...

Re: water injection or intercooler?

ever thought of one of the $300 intercoolers on ebay? I've also heard of people using power stroke intercoolers on 90's turbo stangs. They run in the $300-400 range from the right sources.
