slimsoftball Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 If I recall correctly the new Lighning concept before it got canned has this concept in it. They used the A/C to chill a small tank of coolant. When it needed to it would route this coolant into the intercooler at like 30 degrees F. I remember them estimating about 50 HP though.

I couldn't stop laughing! But that system is probably what he was talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running a vent into the intake (yes I have seen it) would bring the intake temps down which would make some hp but not 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssfromsd Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 has anyone ever actually routed the front BRAKE ducts to the front brakes? cant imagine it would do much. When i first got it my friend loved it and cracked up when i said he was going to have flood damage to his house when i took his rain gutter off to tape it to those ducts and point it at the brakes! hah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
