From: Colorado,
How exactly would your use it for that?
I have two bottles I carry on my AC truck for cleaning condeser coils.
It lasts a lot longer than the same size nitrogen bottle I have. It does ice up the bottle and hose and then you have to leave it in the sun or where it is warm to regenerate it.

It is cold though.

I suppose you could drain your antifreeze and disconect your pump and shoot it threw to atomosphere durring 1/4 mile runs and then put it back together for street use.
To much work for me.
I will wait for the ICE system like the Lightning concept truck.

some company makes a system that sprays co2 on the intercooler heatexchanger or you can spray in the intake air plus they make a fuel rail cooler


every thing sounds "cool" to me but i am a little concerned a bout the tune the compny is DEI engineering



you add it on much like the old school nitrous systems

you put a bottle in the bed run one hose or more
have a switch wired in and press it for a 50 degree cooler charge or more i guess

but it sounds a little to good to be true

I agree.

If your going to go through all that trouble might as well do the NOZ

nos would be great




BUT

i am just looking for a cheaper way to cut a couple tenths of the time

WHat if someone made a tank that had the lines for the C02 to spray through. It would cool the fluid like th A/C does on the concept truck but use the C02 instead of a/c system. might work mioght not. souds like a lot of work though.
