Colder Air Idea

As we all know the intake air temp going into the car is about 120F with stage 2 and with you have an even smaller pully ur intake air temp just keeps getting higher and robbing you of power iv seen a cobalt run with a 2.8 pully and running 180F intake temp so my idea


ARE after cooler uses DEX cool to cool the air befor it goes into the engine so Flush the Dex out of the system and use what motor bikes use in there cars COOLANTICE is the brand name you can find it on any bike link just about this is what im going to do they claim 30-50 temp drops so your intake air would go from 120-80 or 90 id say its worth it for 15$ plus help out those guys with the smaller pullies....
Just an idea what do yall think.....

bikes and cars use different liquids for cooling for specific reasons. Without a doubt I would already think this is a bad idea. Prove me wrong though, sounds interesting but doubt it's worth trying.

i work at a dealer and just about everyone here agrees with me that it would be worth trying ether that or the same coolant that the SVT mustangs use.. which is another form of heat disapator....

wouldn't it just be easier to purchase a new radiator for a air/water intercooler set up and run it in line with the first one. similar to adding an add-on automatic transmission cooler?

i don't see how, a mechanical pump will move a certain amount of fluid per minute at a certain pressure. as long as you didn't do something stupid like mount it on top of a 60 foot mast, i don't think it would.
