Well we've been kicking around a couple of possibilities but I thought it might be worth getting some more tech input.
The plan: Lower the intake charge temp as drasticly as possible using an easy to implement mixture at the strip. Some considerations: Mixture temperature Heat exchange properties (water, alcohol, antifreeze, etc. all exchange heat at a different rate as well as have different specific heats to change their temp by a single degree I believe) Freezing/boiling point Brainstorm options: Ice water Saltwater icewater bath (lower freezing point) Antifreeze/ice mixture Add water wetter (better heat exchange properties) Dry ice with vented container and antifreeze/alcohol Those are the basics we've been kicking around. What's the consensus on the 'best' recipe for what to fill the resevoir with at the strip? A basic ice water set-up to achieve that 'Wintercooler' effect? Or something more exotic to supercool the intake charge? -------------------- |

Also anti-freeze will be a little more difficult to unload just anywhere if you need to flush the tank out to put in fresh ice. You would have to use the environmental friendly coolant to just dump it where ever you are. This also adds to cost and mess.
Even 34 degree water on a 80-90 degree day will make for some awesome intake air temps compared to us a2a guys!
