let me know when you make a cold air intake that uses winter air all the time.. gotta love cold temp HP.. i'd be all over that
You can use any intake. The trick is, you have to hook up a winter air resevoir, which consists of one 20 gallon tank, tubing to the intake, and a micro refrigeration unit that would sit right behind your gas tank, and then utilizes an electric supercharger to force the winter air into your intake.
Maybe we can get a GB going on the system with enough takers?


Winter air would need to be imported from Iceland, or the very northen parts of North America.

Maybe we can get a canadian supplier way up there?

Or, you can also get the winter air generator, which is a special refrigeration system and instead of filling the tank with the cold air, you insert an ice core sample flown up from antarctica. The price is a little steep, but one core sample will last you an entire season, so long as you maintain your core cooling system.

When you recieve your summer air package from FEDEX, it says in the instruction manual...*Guarenteed to lower your 1/4 mile time by 3.5 sec. (depending on make, model and tire size)*
Woohoo 10.3 here I come!!

10sec 1/4 mile times are a very real possibility.

that sounds great to me.. money is not a thang so i'll go with the antarctica, thats at least 100 hp gain right there..

no as far as the summer air goes. i have to do my homework on this since it is goin to be a major mod.. okay the air is from florida and is triple filtered. now is this air beach wood aged for that flavor? is it heat pasteurized?. orgainic?.. were any animals harmed or tested with this air?.. will i need to upgrade my valve stems to work with the air? ,, will i have to do a flash for the added HP. how is the air shipped.. is it compressed? or come in a can? this just may turn out to be the best GP ever

WARNING! the EPA has stated the following "DO NOT USE FLORIDA AIR! samples recently tested have been found to have too many PPM (parts per million) of sodium". the proximity of Florida to the salt water has made Florida air a deadly corrosive.
An independent test has seen aluminum wheels disintegrate from internal corrosion after a mere 500 miles after the use of Florida air! Three know deaths have occurred from Florida air and 20 more cases are under investigation.
The FBI has created a task force to prevent the illegal use of Florida air! As FBI spokesman stated "the use of Florida air to decrease quarter miles times is a tragic misuse of a dangerous substance".

more to come

PM sent!

At first when I heard about your patented summer air system I was skeptical because you had mentioned how you adapted rail road technology to cars and I thought to myself rail cars don't have tires, but once you explained and I got my sample pack I'm a firm believer that your process is the best out there for filtering summer air.

I also heard a rumbling over at f1world.com that you may be getting a contract with Scudaria Ferrari to supply them with summer air after this weekends race. Any truth to those rumors?

Sorry to thread jack guys, but I just got my hands on 1 metric ton of Death Valley air, 300ft below sea level. It is so powerful, that it is illegal, hence why I had to buy it off of the Black Market. Now I am trying to keep this on the down low, so I will be selling a maximum of 50lbs per person in a season. Do not worry about the small amount, this air is equal to 100lbs of Florida air. 10lbs is enough to fill up all four tires on one vehicle. I am gonna start selling this air at $50 per 10lbs. Let me know as soon as you can, because this stuff will be selling fast.

I haven't seen what the results of the florida air is, but I have real dyno proof. These are my dyno results. The first run is with all of my previous mods, w/o the Death Valley Air, GMPP intake, GMPP honed exhaust manifold, GMPP Sport catback exhaust, and XTC 2.5" downpipe w/ cat. The 2nd run was with the same mods, plus the Death Valley Air. No tune, no larger injectors, nothing. As you can see, I do need a tune to get rid of some of those bumps around 5500-6500rpms. I hope you all enjoy my results, because this could be your results.

The Enviromentalist express concern that they must do their part in keeping The Great White North, white. This can only be possible by banning the sale of summer air. Reports have been verified that the Enviromentalist Party have named 25 Polar Bears to raise awareness of this victory.

(sorry for the repost here. I did not see the GB Summer Air thread)
Damn polititians always trying to ruin our fun...

well then, Jackalope I'll have to withdraw from the GB.... gonna pick up this stuff instead

Yeah well, my friend's sister's boyfriend's cousin is going to TURBO the summer air in his Vega tires as soon as he can save up the $$$$ ....

He's currently running JDM high speed muffler bearings now (which I can give everyone a good deal on if 25 people send me $400 each to help develop a set for the Cobalt, 2.0 only at 1st though)

If their not the ceramic coated internaly lubricated muffler bearing thier too old school for the Cobalt's I hope you bought the right ones.

What about your torque limiter and the main kanibiler pin? You replace them yet?

WARNING ! STOP ! ..... The summer air GP is a SCAM !

I happen to know for a fact, that the air in Baltimore is highly unstable SPRING air ... and last year I ordered their summer air and it was old air from 1968 and was WAY too clean for our engines...

Which is why I had to replace all 16 F'n Kanibiler Pins ...

By the way, props to Jackalope for setting up the forged aluminum Kanibiler Pin GP last fall ...everyone that didn't jump on that one lost out BIGTIME!

You got one of our patented Kanibiler pins last year? Wow its like everyone forgot about them after a few months. I used to get thank you's all the time but now its like its totaly forgotten.

So how much time did it knock off for you in the 1/4 mile? You got at least 2 full seconds off right?

And where did you get 1968 air from? Damn thats stale air! Sounds like you got scamed! I know it wasn't from me but I'll ship you out a full set of replacement air FREE just as a thank you for getting the Kanibiler pin last year. Same address right?
