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

tireburner163 - It is mounted in the car and he runs the pump all the way down the track. When he turns it on you can feel the inlet tube and filter box get cooler.

A lot of people have said the same thing to him about it restricting air flow, but numbers don't lie. It's really a simple setup... He used the stock air box and mounted the tranny cooler in front of the filter and used expanding foam to seal it all up. He ran lines from the cooler through the heater core lines I believe and into the cockpit where he has a Coleman cooler sitting in the floor board filled with ice and water. The lines go into the cooler by way of the Holley pump. I doubt I could get pics because I don't even know the guy and the track's closed until next year. Oh yeah, he has a 9" rear end too, but other than that he never mentioned any suspension mods either.
