You can get water/methanol sprays to help reduce intake temperatures. These normally either pre turbo/SC, or at the manifold.

o water injection...i thought you meant like something you coat the parts with, im like what are you talking about lol
CooBlueDAB:
actually, yeah, I was talking about a coating. a treatment of a sort. The letters I had in my post below my sentences .. is the correct elemental name for it. It supposibly insulates heat by a LOT. So all you would have to worry about in an engine would pretty much be the physical wear and force on the parts. Instead of having the heat wear on it as well. In either case, I'm willing to bet is is expensive lol.
Plague:
The coating is normally just called Thermal Barrier Coating. There's some info about it here. I've seen it used on piston tops as well as combustion chambers and valve faces. It keeps heat in the chamber - allowing the energy to go toward making power rather than dissipating into the cooling system.
It's not all that expensive - you just have to have your engine disassembled to apply it. 8)

Does it actually work ? Just that I'm surprised the big tunign houses do not seme to use it, and if it were that good ...
