Like Robert said, we also have an ice tank inside the spare tire well with another heat exchanger inside of it, with the flick of a hidden switch in the console it sends ice cold water through the entire system dropping intake temps down about 200 degrees, the cold water easily lasts through staging & a 1 mile run. The black box on the left is where we moved the fuse box, did it to balance out of the engine bay & clean up all the clutter. Why? Because Racecar/Showcar!

WOW

Wow, there's a lot going on there

I was only posing the question because I was not aware you were using a separate heat exchanger to reduce the coolant temperature.

That being said, wouldn't you would want to have the heat exchanger located in the line prior to running the liquid coolant through that sweet looking intake?

Regardless, that is one really awesome setup

It starts to flow through the entire system when the car is started, think of a cars coolant system without a thermostat, its all inline, so it does go through the exchanger before the intake. I hope I'm explaining this all well.

Street loop=coolant tank, coolant flows into intake, through heat echanger inside intake, out other side of intake, back to heat exchanger in grill, back to coolant tank & repeat the cycle.

Race loop=coolant tank, coolant flows through heat exchanger inside of ice box, coolant flows into intake, through heat exchanger inside intake, out other side of intake, back to heat exchanger in grill, back to coolant tank & repeat the cycle.

Switches in the console=the switches on the right are to select my street tune which is 91 octane, or my race gas tune which is C16, pretty damn cool, just flip a switch & fill it up with my fuel of choice. The switch on the right is to activate the pump for the ice tank, I drive around with it off, if I'm gonna make some runs I just add ice & flip the switch to drop intake temps to freezing levels

Cord & the button=figured I'd include a pic of my line lock, I just plug in the quarter inch plug, step on brakes & push the button, release my foot from the brakes while holding the button, my front brakes stay locked while my back brakes release, I can then do a huge tire heating burn out without frying my rear brakes, when tires are heated I just release the button & the front brakes release back to normal.

The ice lasts for 1 mile runs before its starts to go back to normal which is still a lot better than an air to air system that we had data on.

Iat2 at the start after staging & heating tires 90 degrees
Iat1 at the start after staging & heating tires 160 degrees

End of run
Iat2 140-150
Iat1 310-320
At 19 psi

Once again I'm sorry Robert for putting all this on your page, maybe I should start my own.

I'll bet if you start one for yourself, he (or any other mod, for that matter) can probably help relocate some posts into your thread

This is all very interesting to me. I just hope I'm not sounding like I'm second-guessing all that artwork.

Not at all, I love telling people about it & sharing pictures. I can talk about cars for hours

Bro, you are more than welcome to hang out here... I love reading this stuff as well... Whenever you decide, I can relocate the posts to your thread... Or copy them over so this one continues to flow...

I can talk cars for hours as well, often I'm sure people get tired of hearing it... Sorry, it's what I like...

Cool! Its easier to just take up residency here then, I'll be that friend that just moves in on your couch, years later you'll wonder if I'm ever gonna leave.

Lmao... Only build thread reasonably able to claim 3000 rwhp....with only two cars...

Very true, lets issue a challenge! You & I will take on any other 2 cars on the forum in combined top speed.

First rule, all cars must drive in reverse in this challenge.
