Just noticed the ad in a magazine today and checked out the site. The idea sounds right, but what kind of gains could you really see from something like this at the track?

I'm not looking much into it myself because I'm adding nitrous next, just curious about this product.

Isnt it just a huge blast of cold freezing air? I think NOS is more powerful and this stuff is the other version to help run all systems cold for more power.. I say at least 5 to 10 Hp gain max only... Can someone confirm if this is true since its what I always thouhght it to be...

You can't burn it, it's just meant to cool your air charge. May be useful for drag with a heat soaken engine in hot ambient temp.

it doesnt make as much power, they say a possible 40hp but thats with turbo or supercharger i think, it can be used WITH nitrous too. I know its only for track use, but I've been going lately and this product caught my eye. Seems very safe too.

all it does is chill your intercooler. does nothing to combustion, just makes intake temp lower.
