Cryogenic Intake System
Holy crap...look at this. It can produce 5-6 psi. No header connection needed. Its supposed to "clean" up your engine bay by not having as much stuff. What do you think the pros/cons of this thing is?

Rep Power: 283 Yeah i know....oh yeah its called the Cry0-2 System by the way. It was said to be one of the "top items at sema"...but so were the l.e.d.'s for the purge lines.

just when you need to.

engines that were designed to be boosted last just as long as N/A cars..I know this first hand. Adding any kind of forced induction to any motor that isnt designed for it will reduce its life span.

(Like I said I still don't know too much) I've heard these systems pumping out up to 50 RWHP on supercharged and turboed applications and up to 30ish RWHP on N/A applications. The system itself is pretty cheap and runs around $500 and is supposably %100 safe/detonation free.

Rep Power: 301 THe concept is cool I guess, but there is more to a boosted car than the turbo. You need more fuel for the increase in air and the correct tuning. All I can see that thing do is cause problems.

looks like it'd work better than the electric superchargers.. but if you run a bottle why not just use nitrous oxide? you'd get more power out of the bottle that way. Only reason I can think of to use that setup is if its street legal (since nitrous isn't)

Rep Power: 0 I saw this at DEI's booth at PRI. The idea is good, but personally I believe they need to do a little more R&D. The "turbo" itself, moves a great deal of air, but the whole fact that you will run out of CO2 will be a downside.
