Maybe for the first 2 min, then the water gets hot and all your doing is pumping hot water around.

Water based coolers are great for short term track use, beyond that they are great at keeping your air charge very high.

I will find out, I'll do some AIT logging and find out. I only plan on running around 6-7psi Max my car is a heads/cam car that put 612 hp to the wheels all motor so it's not going to take much boost to make allot of power.

Your making 14psi of boost with a 3" pulley, with ported heads, built motor, cam? You have a larger crank pulley? My car is only making 4psi with a 3.25" pulley

On a better note this heat Exchanger is working grate to keep down AIT's, it's 101 deg out side right now and the highest I have seen the AIT go is 104 deg and that was pushing the car really ******* the highway. I'm running Distilled water and 1/2 a bottle of read line water wetter.


Now my Eng coolent temps are a different story 225-230 deg F (ac on). Thats with a up-graded rad. , 2 pusher fans on the front, and the stock fan on the back. Why do these dang vipers run so dang hot.
