Why do you want to install a meth kit? What objective are you trying to achieve?

If you spray anywhere other than the eight velocity stacks, then the meth must pass on top of the heat exchanger inside the intake manifold and so distribution into the intakes is compromised. Also, the cooled meth air is then heated back up to whatever temperature the water is in the heat exchanger.

Also, since this car is not boosted from the factory, fuel trims are affected by meth and the ECU doesn't do a good job in compensating.

All that said, meth did not cool my intake charge and reduced power from the changes to fuel trims.

Yup LB is right. The most straightforward way to cool temps on an a/l kit is using a trunk mounted icebox.

I would run Water Meth, works great for me, with my VT625 I gained some power while running ~93+Meth and with the VT775 now it does help keep intake temps down, and I make the same power with it on or off. It's not so much about making more power but a solid way to help keep intake temps down. ESS in their own tests felt it was beneficial as well, but certainly not mandatory. ESS plumbed mine right under the manifold in the front, that's my engine bay in your pic, you can see the small black nylon line where it leads too under the front part of the manifold.
