I have a 5 gallon cell in the trunk the I dump ice in. In the cell there is an inlet and outlet. The returning warm intercooler water enters, melts the ice, then the ice water is pumped directly into the blower. It works like a champ for lowering iat's and reducing the amount of timing pulled. One of the things undiscovered is that when I leave the pump on, tank off, the ice water still circulates and cools the entire engine. You can watch the coolant temp drop from 200 to 125 in 10 minutes.
I only let the car idle for maybe 5 minutes. This allows the Trans fluid to circulate through the cooler and lower the temps. After about 5 minutes the temps will reach a point where they won't go any lower. Then the fans cool it the rest of the way.
Hot lapping could lead to excessive heat build up in the Trans and prematurely make it fail.
