Default Using Cold Gas??

Is it good to have pretty cold gas? maybe a certain temperature? could you use this for regular driving and/or for the nitrous fuel mixture

are you thinking of using a cooler of some sort? I just wonder if the energy to make the cooler cold is more than what you would recieve.

it would be pretty easy... copper line with a canister surrounding it with a chamber that i can open and close t o put dry ice in it.. as the gas passes threw that spot it would get cold from passing threw. i know it would work pretty good but how good would it work. im thinking for nitrous, like a wet shot that wont matter.. i might have better results all motor

Fuel Injected engines run a lot more fuel pressure than carb'ed engines. I would think that your setup would need more tubing and a larger can. Just opinion.

I have seen some old school guys do that, have a can that had probably 10 feet of metal fuel line coiled up in the trunk where the fuel came out of the cell, before it left the trunk area.

I asked about it, the guy I talked to said it was a solid .1 and 1 mph faster after doing it.


I dunno how much of that I believe, it is sound thinking that it would help but that much I dunno.

This was a 400 inch sbc powered 70 nova, if that matters.
