Not exactly the same...
Not exactly the same as the Ford version, in fact quite a bit different.
Ford:
Chills a small resevior and releases it at WOT. Doesn't affect AC and can be used at the track because AC compressor doesn't need to be on...
This one:
Inline chiller for IC fluid. On constantly. Constantly takes away from AC effectivness. AC compressor running on the track is a big no-no.
Still get a big
from me, but not quite the same...

if i were to fab something, id use a seperate refrigeration circuit and use some r-23 or something like that, at least r-12 and it might work a little better.

I understood it used the A/C but stored the cool to avoid running A/C it on the track. In other words you could prechill the system then turn off A/C and stage and run with A/C off

Ford's system...
You're right Doug.
I meant that the Ford system doesn't ALWAYS use the compressor. I'd imagine this system will definetly hurt your AC output whereas the Ford system your AC would be a little warm for a couple of minutes after a WOT run...
