Any of you guys using a JLP supercooler or powercooler? JLP Just wonder what kind of results you saw. Anyone running a similar setup?

That thing is awfully high. I think David Cairns was using a JDM cooler. It looked real well and I think he said it ran better too.

Gains will be negligible at best for the money. You have the upgraded set up don’t you? Fab up an e-fan set up for the H/E you have now, that will be money better spent.

What Dave is running is actually just a bigger heat exchanger. This is a reservior fluid loop essentially that cools your fluid with ice or dry ice. This would only be good for the track, IMO, but if you manually pumped your fluid through this while in the staging lanes it could make a big diff.

I've thought about using something like this and put it in the bed, the opnly problem is that I don't want to loose the functionality of the bed yet. If I ever put a tonnoeu cover on though a fuel cell and bettery is going in the very back, then a HUGE intercooler resevoir will be in the front of the bed.

Maybe something like a few small radiators in a tank filled with ice. I would probably get creative with the plumbing and put some valves on it so I could switch it from one to the other.
