That's a great idea with the ice canister.. I remember reading about that. I wish there was a way to use that with air to air...
I had an air/air with my turbo and it worked okay. But with the KB and the ice, it is night and day difference in power when I fill that tank up with ice.

If you get any TS blower and you plan to race, plan on doing something to keep IATs down. For the street, the stock HE, IMO, is just fine. At the track, the ice tank is awesome.

Get a generator, a fan and a cooler of ice bags. That will get your car cool and not blow anything up! LOL

I wouldl ike to figure out how to jump the relay on my fan so I can just turn it on when i need to at the track.

The race car we have does not have the alternator hooked up. You can go 4-5 passes with no charging needed. We always have a generator there.

Should be pretty easy to cut the connectors, splice in a relay and run a switch from the cab.

You actually have to get into the fuse box and jump a fuse and also put a switch in. I actually would rather have the switch in the engine bay since the hood would be up anyway.

I guess I know how to do it if I really wanted to. Just cant get motivated to do so.

The air to air is okay for the V3.. better than nothing but NOT better than air/water.

What do you think about those fat AFCO dual fan heat exchangers for the Roush/Saleen kits? It's pretty friggin' Massive...

I plan on getting one with the R2300 or E-Force..
