on the intercooler should on paper cool it quicker than regular air

it may slightly, but water evaporating from the surface of the intercooler would provide MUCH better heat dissapation then o2 flowing over it. the o2 may only be providing cooler temps because of the fact its coming out of a tank, thus its being decompressed which cools it to temperatures lower then the outside air.

o my bad thought we were talking about spraying into engine not on intercooler... o2 vs n2o vs co2 would not notice much of a difference

squirting pure oxygen into the motor could be very very dangerous. oxygen is explosive, i would not want to be driving around with a tank of that in my car ever. oxygen is even more explosive then hydrogen and nitrous. dont believe me? take a balloon full of pure o2 and hold a match to it
and since its an oxidizer, it would rapidly accelerate the burning of anything else that was on fire. the oxygen would probably ignite in your intake if there was any type of open flame coming back out of the motor into the intake. very very bad idea.

Its supports combustion, it does not cause it.

Oxy-acetylene torch, acetylene makes the flame, O2 makes it hotter.
