Default Cooling at the strip

Texas Summer heat is coming. Are any of you using a cool can to lower pump gas fuel temps? Engine Masters says cooling the fuel > cooling the air. I can probably rig up a cool can with some dry ice.

Also, what are you doing between rounds to cool engine temps? I can rig a switch to run the fans and also put a big fan in front of the car but I have the stock water pump and antifreeze so I can't circulate or pump new cold water through the system. I suppose I can switch from antifreeze to water + water wetter.

Lastly, what are you doing to keep IATs under 104 degrees so timing doesn't pull?

Thanks!

I run an electric water pump, switch on and turn fans on low using HP tuners to pull heat out of the engine. I relocate my iat sensor into the front bumper away from the radiator to keep it from heat soak .
