A DC voltage pump, some tubes, probably antifreeze as the liquid...watcha think? Kind of like having your A/C shoot cold air into your intake in a way. The overall idea seems good. I bet it wouldn't be that hard to build your own.

That "Dry Ice Chamber" in my alky thread, can be used for fuel lines also.

What about cooling your the air coming through your intake though? Although with a supercharger you wouldn't need it, because when air is condensed it lowers the temp.

You still want the coolest air comming into the filter. I'm having a custom intake pipe fabbed up so I can use my ram-air box.

Yes, when the blower compresses the air it becomes hot (Charles and Gay-Lussac's Law). To chill the cold air, I blast it with denatured alcholol and soon the alcohol will pass through about 15-20ft of tubbing inside of a dry ice chamber, dropping the temp to high 30's. This will drastically cool the blower charge.

Could your dry ice chamber be done with something like that setup by chance?

I'm believe that any cool or cold air into the TB is a performance enhancer when it comes to MoPars especially. In a small way that is what the power wire does. It fakes the computer that the sensor is feeling cooler air.

Back in the 70's when we were drag racing on the cheap, we all had a 3lb coffee can bolted on a fender with about three feet of copper fuel line coiled inside. Before a race we filled it with REAL ice. It had a drain hole punched in the bottom. It was one of the few mods we could make and still run in pure stock class. (We couldn't even run headers!)

Yes Sir, that is where the idea for the dry ice chamber came from. Only difference is about 15ft of aluminum fuel line, coiled inside a cylinder. That cylinder is wrapped in insulating stryofoam and put inside a larger cylinder with holes to run the lines in and out. Putty foam is them injectred into the holes and styrofoam to ensure an insulating effect.
