A2W recipes Options

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?

Water Wetter. I've used it with absolutely NO measurable gains on coollant temperature and consider it a waste of money.

If running the existing IC and tank sett-up with a mixture of coolant and regular ice. The mixture will soon become too diluted for any benefit if you inted to drain it into a container for re-use. If using dry ice I have no experience with that.

BTW - Dexcool is the trash of anti-freezes. In short term applicataions it may be OK, but this stuff was designed to go 100K miles before it ever needed flushed. Now GM recommends fulushing it much sooner, while independant mechanics change it out for the good ol' green stuff to save the engine and components from undue corrosion and plugging of the coolant system.

Good luck in any event.
