Not sure about the NA/T2 rad. Doubt they're any different but they sell alcohol sprayer kits that spray into the engine. The misted alcohol reduces the intake temp a bit. You don't gain all that much power from basic bolt ons on an NA.
Bolt on or Un-bolt what you will. IMHO, You will not see that much of a difference on an N/A unless you invest the bling or do some major work.

Hey josh, if you want insurance just make sure your cooling system is 100%. The stock system is sufficient even in crappy Oklahoma weather as long as its working properly and you don't go sitting in traffic for a bazillion years. And if your stock system isnt working right to begin with then the radiator sprayer won't do much good anyways.

spraying the radiator would do just about nothing
i think hes more interested in cooling the engine temps rather than intake temps
upgrade your radiator to a full aluminum one... k2rd or koyo or fluidyne
if your stock fan and shroud are in one piece (working well) you can keep that ... if you want to cloean up the engine bay a bit get an electric fan WItH A SHROUD that will pull a lot of air

I too would discourage this mod as it seems like a slight waste.
However, if you're looking for a good sprayer, grab the rear hatch washer from a first gen. It's a little baggy full of fluid with a small pump attached and a short length of tubing leading to a decent little nozzle. It takes a simple power/ground connection and does really well.
