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?

if you go with antifreeze go with orange GM stuff, you can dump that whenever/whereever as its bio-friendly, and if you go water, water wetter is supposed to be great, I should be throwing a bottle of it at the redlines A2w setup soon.

I would go with ice water and a bit of dexvool(orange gm stuff) and maybe some water wetter, you should be able to dump it whenever/whereever, get a good cold charge, and get it a bit cooler than straight water, water wetter is only what, 4-5 bucks a bottle, and dexcool is like 9/gallon


how much does the setup hold travis?
