fuel cooling intake air

[David Hunt]

Grumpy,

Won't the evaporation of the fuel cool the charge
where ever the fuel is added?  That is, if the fuel is
added before the intercooler then the fuel will
evaporate more quickly, and there will still be the
same amount of cooling.
However, if you add fuel before the intercooler then
the mix is more dense while traveling through the
intercooler.  What will that do to the the cooling
efficiency of the intercooler?  My knee jerk reaction
is that since the charge is more dense the volume will
be decreased and the charge will travel more slowly. 
The slower charge will have more time in contact with
the walls and the efficiency will increase.  Note that
the change in exchange efficiency is a non-linear
curve that is almost flat at high velocity.
