Love the car!

How so? I figured the condensation was a result from super cooling the air (mid to high 90's) down to about 55-60.

Yes, but shouldn't it trap the condensation prior to the intake? You wouldn't want all that water going into your engine, and I'm pretty sure you don't want it on the MAF.

I never really thought about how they would do that, but it seems you would need a condensor after the IC to catch and evaporate the water. Just my thoughts...

Good point, I didn't even think about it going into the Engine. Hmmm if I can, I'll check out the MAF again tomorrow.

Just so you know, water WILL damage the MAF sensor. I've seen it many times in vehicles that drive through some high water. The MAF has to be replaced every time.

I figured water would damage the MAF. However I do not understand why I would have an issue with water. smoke1lt drove his about the same distance that I did and had zero problems.

I really never paid that much mind to the details of the design because I wasn't really sure I wanted one. However, I do think I remember them designing it so that it could be run at the track. That would mean they have to incorporate something to trap the water (can't have it dripping out all over the place). It sounds like yours is not working properly. Once Tracy is feeling better I'm sure it can figure it out. I doubt it is anything major. Like you said, Smoke has been running his for a while and they have a lot of humidity there, too. Probably something just needs to be replaced. Wish I knew more, but like I said...didn't pay that much attention in class.

its supposed to capture the moisture and let it drip out like the condenser of your A/C it just drips.

There is a competition mode that you can flip on that shuts the AC off but keeps the chiller going and keeps and water dripping on the ground, like it would if the AC was running. So basically it's drag strip mode.

Apparently not in competition mode, that's the whole point. So you can run the chiller on the drag strip. Not completely sure yet. Still checking everything out and having fun. I've been home less than 72 hours

***New video on my build threat, check it out!***

Hmmmmm did not realize that competition mode shut off the AC. Learning new things everyday. Hey Baylor, been meaning to ask, did your exhaust note change any? If so did it improve or depreciate? Or did it stay the same? Sorry for getting off subject slightly. I cannot believe how much my exhaust changed under 3/4 - WOT with the ported IM. Seems throatier or thumpier kinda like an older modded Ford 4.6. Anyway I think Smoke reported a slight change with the addition of his SC.
