thanks krazy,
the colder air, the more dense the air,= more hp
first I have my supercharger water system separated from the engine, so I'm cooling the water as it gos through the inter cooler (normally that water is cool by the heat exchangers), I removed my heat exchangers) so the AC unit up front is actually cooling the water going through my use to be heat exchanger system, the inter cooler gets cooled thus the air gets cooled,,, with a stock SRT6, or( v8), the water in your heat exchanger system runs about the 20 to 30° above ambient at 60 miles an hour,,,, mine runs 20° or more below ambient.
At the track a stock heat exchanger system, on a cold engine, by the time you get through the staging area,finish your burnout, your IAT's the somewhere around 110,, by the time you get through your 1/4 mile run, your IAT's are somewhere close to 180.
now my car as I'm going Through staging,my IAT's are from 49 to 55 degrees, during the burnout, my iat's go the 80,and by the time I move up to the lights, get staged my Iat's are back down to 55, at the end of the quarter mile, my Iat's are somewhere around 90 to 100,, as I said for I'm going to do a video of this shortly. I have no drip from my AC system. jim
