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?

You can always drain the antifreeze mix into a container and keep it around for when you need it. You also may want to bypass the heat exchanger at the track, as it might end up heating up the fluid rather than cooling it.

good points wort
