I am about to install a Stage 3 Boost Cooler system from Snow Performance on my 2011 Mustang GT.

Anyone have experience with this product?

What kind of performance improvements did you see?

Run into any problems with this product?

Thanks for any help!

You won't see any gains with the boost cooler in a naturally aspirated application. I know Snow likes to market the system for NA applications, but the only time I've ever seen anyone gain anything from it was by being able to run increased timing and cooler iat's in a forced induction application.

Snow's "Boost Juice" is 50% water, if you run 100% methanol it can give you a bump in delivered octane but I wouldn't expect any performance gains.

More great info. Thanks again. I just hope ur wrong this time haha! Kit ordered and install scheduled! Snow Performance estimated about a 20hp increase on my N/A engine so I hope they weren't yankin me around for a sale. The shop agreed to report my output after the exhaust install / tune and then again after the boost cooler is intalled so I know what it by itself is adding (if anything at all based on your experience). I'll let you know what I find out.

I have the Stage 2 installed on my 2V Mustang and I love it. I will tell you I did before and after dynos with 50/50 and 100%. I also did before and after with and without meth (only 100%) on the track for time differences.

My experience: I don't know the expectation with N/A since I have a supercharger but given simple engine dynamics the concept is the same (one has air moving faster than the other). I brought my car in with my Saleen Series IV to get tuned on meth. It made 370 on no meth, made 358 on 50/50 mix, and 385 on 100%. On the track, it would run 12.9-13 in the hot TX heat (100*) with no meth and 12.3 (same temp) on 100%. So despite only gaining 15 rwhp, my efficiency and power levels went up across the powerband not to mention I now run the same despite it being 50* or 100*. IMO that alone is worth it. Nearly 3/4 of a second is awesome and meth is $4 a gallon at the track (I use 1 gallon max per tank). After that I switched to a 90mm MAF and filter and bumped my rwhp up to about 400 but I never got to put it on the track after that. I sold that blower and am waiting on my KB 3.2LC...
