Supercharger temps

Has anybody used water wetter or royal purple ice in the intercooler tank on there lsa? And if so does it help lower temps?

water wetter and Royal Purple Ice are both good products. They will help lower intercooler water temps, but your probably looking at a 20*F drop in water temp, at best, so maybe that translates into a 5-8* air temp drop? Also, you have to add it about every 6 months.

If you are truly looking for a temp decrease, 100% Methanol is the way to go.

Water wetter and 70/30 distilled water/dexcool help too...

And I upgraded to a Ron Davis HX and Varimax intercooler pump...

Did you see the ADM sticky? Usually you add HD to the belt number
