Funny I was just editing my post because I forgot to mention the intercooler fluid:beer:
Any other cooling mod ideas? Getting a Dual Fan H/E

Did you pull the rotor pack too or is that part of the case?
So you pulled the IC out for this? If so, I should do the POSI port and IC flush at the same time (so I only have to pull the SC once).
Nice! I like the sound of that.
Yes, the rotor pack was removed, and it's VERY heavy. In fact, it's why the supercharger weighs so much.
No, you don't have to remove it. You disconnect the top hose from the coolant tank, start the car or manually engage the IC pump (preferred method), put the water hose into the top of the IC tank. The pump will continue to empty the IC tank, and you are constantly replacing the fluid with straight water. When the fluid coming out of the top hose is clear, you are done. Reconnect the hose, pour in Coolant boost, and top off the tank with water. Doing it this way makes air removal very easy.

Thanks Beast!
Got the IC and HE flushed and refilled with Amsoil coolant booster and tap water. I also got to use my Airlift (for the first time) kit to remove the air pockets in the line and it worked great. The fluid is flowing really good now, better than I remember. Makes me wonder if I had a small air pocket in there before.
The next dry day (a few days from now) I'll do some data logging and post up. It should be interesting to see what kind of difference it makes.

Good deal, can't wait to see the difference. If this change alone makes our testing numbers real close, we know what to recommend to others.
If not, we will look elsewhere.

Updated Datalogs with AmsOil Coolant booster
Starting to close the gap. It was 61 deg and dry here today so took er out for another data log spin. Got some good speed on this one too:
a 46 deg spread now, down from 53/54. Looks like the coolant booster is working.
What do you think Beast?

So you experienced an 8*F drop in IAT2 by going to a straight water/coolant boost mixture. That's good news, we know it works. I'd say that was a big portion of the difference. If you were to get a ported blower and larger elbow, you may post numbers better than mine. Due to your extra snorkel of course, as your numbers are darn close to mine now. I would say I have little, to no difference now, and a small margin if any.
@ 133 mph, my temp was 1*F higher than your difference
@ 115 mpg, my temp was 7*F lower than your difference
My average difference is 4*F lower than your average
I'd say the Coolant Boost was the ticket for you. Now get that blower ported, a larger elbow, and test again. :beer:
I bet you would beat me then.
We still don't have similar setups to determine which core gets the job done better.

What are you going to log with anyway? You still don't have a tuner!!!oke:
Oh phulheeze. I just haven't had a chance to call. I was going to email JL a Q before I ordered and have been distracted.
I didn't know Mr. Wolf was also a nag.... :beer:
The Killer chiller seems like a great idea for the street. However at the track, the officials might frown upon AC use while in the staging lanes.
