  Ahh, ok, I know the type of sprayer you're talking about. I'm not sure
how people would react to my dripping water all over the staging lanes
though. If I really wanted to get serious, I could probably get one of
those jobbies that circulates coolant even when the engine is off. Or
maybe just a switch to turn the fan on? The ram-air hood should help to
feed cold air to the intake, and I've been thinking of doing up a ram-air
type system (from under the airdam) that will direct air up into the engine
bay and over the headers or something. Wouldn't help until the truck is
moving of course, but it might help a little on the top half of the track.

   Hmmm... A shot of nitrous would cool down the engine too. ;-) On a
related note, how about venting liquid nitrogen into the engine bay? ;-)
