Anyone tried an INTRACOOLER Check out this website; http://www.coolflow.com/
Click on:Refrigerated Chillers & Intercoolers
He sells air to refridgerant intracoolers for some cars and will work with you on custom applications. This solves some of the space/location problems associated with standard intercoolers.
Another "cool" effect is you can run your AC on the racetrack. The power increase is far more than the loss from the AC compressor.

the ac does shut off during a run, it doesn't actualy make power in real time, it chills the water before the run and then uses the cold water during the run.
i think it is a great idea but probably not worth the cost or complexity or added weight. prety sure a 50shot would give you more power than this set up and cost a whole lot less or put that $2500 toward heads and get the extra hp that way.

i believe that this is something that they are planing on doing with the next gen lightning. Sounds rea cool if they can bring the price down for 2500-25000. That is alot of dough for anything let alone a intercooler.

It was said to provide a 20hp boost for like up to 10 seconds. HARDLY WORTH THE TROUBLE AND EXPENSE
