With a well known name for the best heat exchangers and ancillary cooling mods on the market, we have been working on the next step in cooling for the past year and after testing various combinations, we are finally ready to release our Boost Freeze chiller! We have developed a complete plug and play system allowing you to tie into your OEM air conditioning system! This is the very first chiller system even available for the gen 6 Camaros, C7 Corvettes, CTS V gen 3s, and the ATS V and we also have the previous gens covered too While this technology is not new, unfortunately to date, chiller kits have always been surrounded by mixed reviews from poorly designed kits and train-wreck threads between competing manufacturers bickering. However, simply put: the proven concept WORKS when done properly! For example, Dodge has just developed their own kit and launched it on the Demon.

How it works?
The chiller uses the OEM air conditioning system to reach sub zero temperatures in the supercharger heat exchanger coolant to remove MORE heat from the compressed air, making it denser, allowing for MORE timing, and thus MORE POWER!!! The cabin air conditioning on our kit remains unaffected and still allows you to remain cool inside while your supercharger gets frost bitten too

System features:
  • Insulated chiller unit
  • OEM quality hardware, lines, and fittings
  • Thermostat controlled heat exchanger bypass when temperatures are below ambient
  • Cabin diverter for race mode to channel ALL of the refrigerant to the chiller
  • Plug and Play hardware for an easy installation
  • Temperature monitor
  • Optional Bluetooth controller for custom programming settings


Product launch will occur next month with pricing and availability!

Looks good.

Btw, Do you have any Real-Time Data of the Intake Charge Temps?

I am unsure of their products firsthand and don't really want to draw my own conclusion; however, there are plenty of reviews online that will likely show you why we entered the market with our cooling expertise. We actually have a very specific thermal engineer involved on top of our own engineering staff, so our results have been incredible thus far.

Yes it will to a point; however, depending on your power goals, heat, boost etc, those can also benefit a build as you can see since I have them all on mine expecting to see 30+ PSI

Started tuning my compound boost ZL1 this week and IATs were 44* I'll put together some more detailed info soon.

Hurry the fuk up and take my money.

Group buy maybe?

I'll buy the first one for $100, then the others can get 5% off since it was my idea.

So does this eliminate the need for a upgraded intake ? Or does this chiller act as a upgraded intake + the benefit of chilling the air as well. Cause if so... I'd rather not waste money on a intake I was about to buy.. and I'll just spend whatever extra this cost

What’s estimated price and can you run the chiller to get some extra hp and also air conditioning with no negative effects around town and then for racing you can divert all of it? Am I reading that right

Absolutely welcome ! But you may need to hand out bibs for all the people drooling over the LT5
