Trust me, you know when I don't even have time to play on here that we're slammed and I miss it, but I had to spend a lot of R&D time with my C7 ZR1 and making 800whp now on that got me into the 9s first! It should've been deeper into the 9s but it was running hot and we figured out why after and now it's cool as a cucumber, so I'm eager to get it back to the track again, but my ZL1 didn't even make it to Camaro Fest as a result of everything going on, but all good things!



We did just this with Storm's LT 427 C7, F1X, G1Pro (you're cutting your hood lol), and our chiller = 1275whp on our Mustang dyno... and then came the 200 shot next

- F1X Blower outlet temp at 25psi was nearly 300*
- IATs post manifold were in the 90*s at the top of a pull on the dyno and even cooler with air movement on the street ripping through 4 gears!
- Chilled water in the low 40*s (sheet metal manifold should've been ceramic coated so it picked up a lot of heat vs my ZL1 chiller in the low 30*s)
- Getting rid of terrible Air to Air IC reduced the pressure drop from 8psi to just 1, so we were able to slow the blower down and make gobs more power.

Checkout that condensation






This is the 25psi boost only hit now vs. the air to air 21psi + 200 nitrous hit before:


So, bear with me till the end of the month and Intimidator's kit will be on in all it's "plug and play" glory and the world of chillers will be revolutionized

Sweet! What is your target price for the plug n play kit?

So, I'm assuming this won't work with a Pro Charger set up then right?

We're planning to open up the group buy at 20% off for the first 10 kits! I think this will start 9/4 at the moment.

That was a Procharger in the pic up there, but you have to get rid of the air to air intercooler and go air to water. I still need to find time to write that up, but on the C7 air to air cooler, we were spinning the blower nearly 76K RPMs making 21 PSI into the LT 427 and there was a 8 PSI pressure drop through the intercooler, meaning the . We slowed the blower down to 70K blower RPMs, making 25 PSI and nearly 200 WHP more!

Who can tell me what this is?

[djfury05]

Its the intake manifold temps.

[djfury05]

I'd need to see the results on a stock LT4 ZL1 blower before I'd be interested first. Is that in the works?

[LiqTenExp]

Two different points on the intake manifold that should be measured at the same point for temperature comparison

I would have forced the scale on it (not sure if your device is capable) so the color scale based on min/max temp is equivalent, would make a more stunning photo

First production unit is going on Intimidator's car this week, so you will have your results and will have our X850 package which is everything but cam/heads!

Not exactly the point but I agree with you with what you're referring to.
Those pictures were taken seconds apart of a Whipple supercharger and I'm showing you how much cooler the coolant crossover tube on the front of the unit is than the rest of the entire unit. This was after back to back pulls and the crossover tube is aluminum and obviously picking up heat from conduction and convection and it is STILL 46* colder than the rest of the supercharger! Think about how cold the fluid would need to be inside of this in order to combat supercharger temps and the Whipple got even hotter afterwards as the internal heat bled through the housing, but the cross over tube just kept getting colder.

I understand but the engineer in me says "you done wrong"

Well then the engineer in me says the engineer in you will get a kick out of seeing our rig running

Being a hvac technician here in arizona, I'm curious to see cabin temps between a stock car and one with a chiller here in arizona when we have a 120 degree ambient. The idea is great if you live in the midwest. Maybe heat up the dyno room and post some data between the two.

You’re the perfect test candidate!

So buy one and tell us how well it works!!

Thanks for replying. Tough choices. For now, I'll need that $2500 to go towards my 427 build.
