That would be a nice addition. I'd really like to see an optional lower intake made for them with a larger intercooler installed. I feel that the intercooler size is more of a problem than the temp of the coolant going into it. Your heat exchanger coolant temps if you read them are never very high. That kit would be like driving in 40º weather all the time with the exception of what underhood heat creates.

Not to mention you would be spinning tires in you're condensation.

I spoke with these guys about a yr ago. At thats time they hadn't done anything with Chevs yet, and were looking for a few willing volunteers. I think the system was $500ish (?). Seemed like a good idea and they said they'd been in use on lightnings & other Fords for a while with good success. I just decided I wasn't willing to be a guinea pig for anything any more, and went meth instead, while working on the root causes of IAT probs. Anyone who has it, luv to hear how it works!

You'd have to make a catch tray for the condensation dripping. Still possible.

Right something with a sponge in it so it wouldn't slosh out when the light goes green, Cause the compressor stops running under Wot so that doesn't hurt and then just wring the sponge out after each run. I think were onto something. Lol
