[QUOTE="Steve@TF, post: 5228018, member: 40308"] for drag racing, just while sitting in line waiting for your turn, then while in the staging lane, would be a help when using this product. Fade2Black's results showed that the temps started to drop immediately. and as your driving back after making a pass, you can have the a/c on helping cool the water down more. ive got my i/c pump set to a toggle switch so i can leave the water circulating even when the car is off. not the full effect of the a/c box but i think it would help. for road racing, you cant be going WOT the entire time. when you slow down to go through a turn or get too close to someone etc... there are plenty of times when you wont be WOT. at that point, the a/c box would be on and doing some immediately cooling. even if only for ten seconds, i assume it would do some measurable good. i can only speculate though since i havent done any open tracking personally :( i just spoke with the designer of these thingies. i discussed with him Fade's concerns with the inlet/outlet sizes. The Icey Res was designed to work in place of your factory i/c box. so in order to fit the factory size hoses, he kept them the stock sizes. Fade used the factory box in conjunction with the ICey Res which means he had to make a bigger hose fit (from factory IC box to ICey Res). i told the designer that i would prefer to run it as Fade did too. what we detemined would be the best solution would be to make a threaded inlet and include the two different sized male barbs with the box. that way the end user can decide for himself which he wants to use. we also discussed the universal ICey Res boxes as well. we plan to make two different sizes. a LARGE sized box that will be about the size of a car battery. the customer can install it in their battery location or in their bed/trunk or wherever. this would be perfect for the ultimate hardcore racer. the LARGE size box would definitely have way more effecient cooling capabilities. we plan to also make a smaller universal box for those people who want the box up front in the engine bay but do not want to relocate their car battery. this box would be a basic rectangle with mouting tabs that customers with various cars from camaros to vortech'd stangs could mount anywhere in the engine bay where they can find the room. i plan to start a thread in the blower bistro where s/c guys from all makes can chime in on what size would be good for the smaller size box. we want the box to be able to fit [I]somewhere[/I] in the front of most vehicles. whether it be in the engine bay or behind the front bumper.
