Kit updates all depend on time available with another Camaro to work it out. Usually I only get a car long enough for standard installation and customer is gone.

Each race was a 30 mile cruise and 3 back to back hot passes. The chiller gives me great consistency. Both tracks, all 6 passes, my ET never varied more than .05 seconds. My opinion, if you want a faster car, build it. If you want consistency, and help protect your build, chill it!
You appear to be the perfect candidate to perform the comparison test. You have a setup and driving technique that you have shown to produce consistency. Now if you were to make a properly cooled off first run with the chiller off then a followed up pass with the chiller on, the resultant improvement would be hard to dispute.

If someone wants to pay for the track time, I'm all in for testing and comparing. Their aren't any decent tracks in my area to use. I do plan on going to Bowling Green and Bristol later in the year, but they won't allow track test time during events. To test correctly need some private track time.

Test it at the Camaro fest in Indy. That would be the ultimate test. They could shut the track down for 10 minutes and let you do your thing. Last year it was mid 90's so the testing conditions would be optimal.

Whether or not Ted is interested, just do it.
Then he can say I told you so or it works and you can gloat. Then the rest of us on the fence can have real data to decide.

My dads been wondering why I haven't done it for 2 years. Maybe Trek man can do the install in Indy? My car is busy for July. Stripes getting painted and updating the cage will suck up most of the month.

I was going to get that hood but I like that my car looks stock. People at the track always ask if it will run "13's". I just say "hopefully".

Those people must of spent too much time at the Budweiser tent or it was their first time at a track. Never ask a gen5 Camaro driver sportin 16" or 17" bogart fat and skinneys with tape on the quarter panels if he can run 11's or 12's let alone 13's
