Blower inlet temps droped 30% by adding 5lbs of ice to the box!!!! This equates to approx 50 hp. FREE!! (Well I did pay for the ice)

Pulled 2nd gear and spun 60 feet (w/BFG g/force)on a day with temps in the high 80's

Dyno results soon!!

how much psi did you loose?? and did you end up going all the way to the trunk, or did you find a better spot???

No psi loss the system is water to water. Similar to a Lightning.

How much did it cost? I think the methanol injection system would yield similar results.

I built it myself, It looks badass.Costs were around 500.00.But the benifit is NO ELECTRONICS!!! No wiring,switches, relays, fuses etc.Just a bag of ice!!!

I was out the other night and measured almost a 40% reduction in temps at the blower manifold(ice and water mix had better results than ice only).This thing works and I will have some track results soon.

I have digital pics but can't figure out how to send them.I suck with computers.
I will keep trying.
