In reading about the use of fuel cool cans, icing down the intake and running extra fans on the intercooler to increase air denisity and power.

Has anyone ever thought of using the A/C compressor to lower the tempature of the intercooler fluid? you should be able to drop the fluid temp about 40 degrees below ambient temp, and then turn off your A/C to reduce the load.

Creating a larger thermal mass (capacity) for the intercooler should allow a run with the coolent staying below ambient temp.

May not work well at the strip with the condencer dripping, but might be GREAT on the street.

EDIT: after thinking about this, there should be no dripping at all, just hot air off the front condencer, if the cooling coil is around or inside the I/C tank.

Too far off the wall?

Maybe have some merit?

Marketable?....

Be kind.....
