Tranny cooler + Ice water in front of air filter = 40 degree drop in temp!!!

[2FastLX]

I went to the track today and a friend of a friend has this setup. He has a Coleman cooler with a Holley pump running ice water through a tranny cooler mounted in front of his air filter in the fender. I watched the temperature of the incoming air drop from 80 degrees to 40 degrees in a minute or so after he turned on the pump. I am pretty sure the car has a completely stock 5.0 in it and runs 7.98's in the eigth mile. WOW! He was running slicks and had every interior piece yanked out of the car, but that's still quick for a completely stock 5.0.

I just thought I'd share this little trick with you guys.

Oh yeah, he said when the weather heats up and people lose time off their ET's he doesn't. It makes for a more consistent time even if the weather isn't consistent. Pretty cool.
