I think for now the HEX and spacer will do then maybe put the ice box in in the futture to have it running when waiting at the track

If you get the spacer you may be able to insert spray bars and spray the meth POST rotor

That sounds like it may work with spray bars like an old carb nitrous plate. Activate the meth spray with a Hobbs switch.

Running the AC in the summer it blows a lil cooler with the 200* coolant running thru the HVAC. And the 30-40* air from the AC blows over heater core and chills the air nice.
I saw IATs in the 50-60s when it was 100* ambient.

I have no dealing with, a SC just with a turbo.
Hope it helps.

that's very clever, hmmm....

I use an icebox with frozen water bottles at the track. It's done pretty well for me.

I've researched the use of meth with the Radix, and I came to my own conclusion that it really does not do a good job of reducing IAT's on the Radix.

Nonnie's idea is interesting, if you don't need the use of your heater core.

I wouldnt try it at the track

Be done dripped water everywhere from condensation.

But for towing it worked amazing.
Cheap to try too. And the AC actually got a lil cooler since the hot air isnt radiating off the heater core.
