JAY- definitly on my reading list thank you very much!
ZTS-
"My first idea is the cold air pipe from the air box to the intake. From there, maybe an upgraded intercooler, but I'm really torn on that. If I'm not regularly tracking it, is that really all that beneficial?"
For normal use I guess it is what it is, a marginal IC system for the average Daily Driver.
But to give you some perspective-
As my logging skills are getting better, I found that my Knock Reduction is coming from IAT timing reduction. IAT around 150F is cutting timing, is causing the KR pid events. I would really love to figure out if and what a cold water IC would do.
OK getting a little out there, but I have a hot air source in my pellet stove exhaust vent. Setup a lab to understand heat transfer with some after market water systems? Good for snow day project, lol.
I still cant quite understand that the IC is sandwiched between the radiator and AC condensor coil. I do know it takes a good amount of air flowing before IATs comes down towards ambient from track logging. like 1/4 mile at WOT worth.
"If the car is shark inspired, and it can only breath if its swimming, I guess the designers where having a field day on this one." wook.
Basically, avoid any standing stop tests like 0-60 from any kind of stop start commute if you want to keep the heat from affecting the performance. Definitly NOT a benefit while in lane staging 5 cars in front of you at the strip while watching burn outs on an 80 degree day. Heat soak is a real factor with the car.
