Not even one person has made back to back runs and has a pair of time slips to post up????

Kind of strange. I don't care what my IAT's are on the street. I've been looking at this but would like to see some proof it works on the track. You would think the company making this would have done some track testing.

Turbo99 has some info at the track I believe.

Sorry I don't have any data with back to back runs. Mainly because I have no reason to run without it now. Last time out temp was mid 70's and I made 3 passes. Highest IAT I saw @ the end of the 1/4 mile was 89 with Chiller. It works and I don't have areason to run without it because I know my IAT's will be higher. They were @ 114 when I started my car and before I moved to the staging lanes thay dropped to 39 due to the chiller being on. Thats proof to me. Running 12psi boost.

I don't think anyone is questioning or doubting the IAT's are lower with the chiller unit. The question is what does it do for your time slips? Is your ET lower and by how much, is your top speed higher and by how much? How much quicker are your times on back to back runs using the chiller on the second pass?

What he said. Why would I want lower IAT's if I don't pick up on my et? For 1000.00 I want to know I will run faster in the heat. Instead of just having a log that show they are cooler. What has me questioning it is that 2 company's make it but none have tested it on the track. That makes me think it does nothing with the Et.

Most say they run personal best with AI Super Chiller.

My tuner told me my tune was set to pull timing @ 100f IAT so I am loosing something on the top end without Dave's Chiller.. This Chiller is GREAT and Dave's support was also great..

Please disregard doing back to back runs with the above referenced tune installed in the car. Most tuners write tunes to start pulling timing at an IAT of about 140 degrees F. 100 degrees F is only a couple of degrees warmer than your normal body temp. We get nearly 100 degree ambient temps from Florida to Texas a lot of days in the summer. With your tune, which is not the norm, there should be a huge difference in performance between "chiller off'" and "chiller on" runs because of the way the tune was written. It would not be a useful comparison for most other racers that have tunes that do not start to pull timing until 140* IAT.

I agree the Chiller is not for everyone and I really can't say how much it is helping me in the 1/4 mile. What I can say is that I would do it all over again after what I see it do ing on my car. When the heat soak brings the IATs up around 120-150 and I can crank it let it run 2-3 minutes on a 75f day and iats are sitting around 34-39f ready to start my 1/4 mile pass. I am sold but you don't have to be. When I am running a 3.4 pulley and OD cog with 11.5 psi boost and maintain 10-20 below ambient IAT's instead of 30-40 IAT's over ambient street driving this can only be good for my maggie?? It is a lot of money, it is personal choice, there may not be a lot of data but seems like the people that have them like them.. Those that don't find it hard to justify.. Thats what make it interesting...Differing opinions :) Its all good... And typically my IAT's are around 85-90f @ the end of the 1/4.

I would really like for this to work at the track like I hope it would. The data looks good, the video looks good and the concept seems sound, but I have no overwhelming evidence this can create a "winter like" drag racing experience in the dead of summer. I really don't race for half the year due to the heat. If I believed wholeheartedly that this was the answer, I would RUN to get this installed. I hope something eventually changes my mind.

This is the first time I've seen someone post this. I have a similar set up as far as pullies and cog drive go. I see the same 50 degrees over ambient. So this chiller can maintain below ambient IAT even after a run ? Very interesting. Thank you.
