Not even...that's why I just threw it away.... That big black canister with the red lid just replaced it...... ;D

I can fit a full bag of ice in there so the water running through the aftercooler should be nice and cold.... just like my ex-wife......  :crackup:

Is the ice-box well insulated? How often to you add ice? everytime runs low or on race day?

Didn't you get the memo?   


I am too skeered to race..... afraid I might break something..... like low e.t....... :crackup:

Not sure how long the ice will last but the cold water should last a few rounds..... of beer that is.....  :drink:


BTW...the rest of the time it is full of water that circulates through the aftercooler and radiator.... I am interested in documenting additional efficiencies of the aftercooler through hot Florida summers.... I would think it will further stabilize IAT's and maybe even keep the wot IAT in check without adding additional meth.... that is the plan anyway....

It'll be sweet to see some very sub-ambient IAT's.  I have a old school "cold can" that's designed for running fuel through while racing.  I had always thought that if I ever do add an aftercooler I would put it inline somewhere.  When it's not packed with ice, the aftercooler would perform as normal but I could pack it with ice or even dry ice (as long as I ran antifreeze in the aftercooler) for racing.

I think to see sub-ambient temps one would have to go to an alternative cooling spray that would enhance the flow of oxygen to the cylinder providing a much denser charge to the compression stroke..... ;D

That'll work too
