They're called a cool can. They're usually used in conjunction with inline cooling your incoming fuel. Check Summit or Jeg's.

There's a couple of places that specialize in Lightning stuff. Try looking for Johnnylightning performance.

A tank that has copper coils going though it so I could pack ice in the tank and it would cool the water that’s in side the tubing This should keep the ice from melting as fast since there’s not water dumping on top of the ice from the return hose. You could even put dry ice in the tank since the ice and water would never touch. That would put your intake temp really low maybe to low in the winter.

You would also mount it in the bed of your truck the only one I have ever seen was in a lighting and I though JLP would sell them too but they don't I might have to fab it up on my own.

I would use the tank from summit but it's a very small inlet and outlet and I am running 3/4" right now.

Thanks for the help

I saw a science show on discovery and this was cool.
They were freezing stuff.
most of us know a mix of dry ice and water,
Temps get low, but for this show it was not low enough.
They wanted freeze stuff.
i watched them freeze water balloons solid,
Containers collapsed in on them selves dipped in this stuff.
Items filled with water was frozen and busted open when the ice expanded.
Get this, dry ice + water comes close to freezing but not enough to make ice.
Are you ready, dry ice + rubbing alcohol will reach a temp of -134.
because it gets so cold the alcohol will not evaporate.

Now is that cold enough for you.
what kind of horse power could you make
if you could drop your air temp to below 0 on a
Hot summer day.

Ok you want to build a tank to cool down the water going to your water/air ic. Not very efficient, it would take a large amount of tubing covered in cold liquid to chill the water from your ic. Why not just dump ice in and when its gone, replace? You will recieve a much large drop.
BTW, I have a huge tank that fits in the front corner of bed, holds 12gallons easy with room to spare. Protype tank built during intial testing. it is a little wider then the wheel well area. -10 oulets coming out of the bottom.
