Some argue it doesn't do anything and some are all in.
It seems for strip or street work, it does great. Around a track, maybe not so much. It seems to me that, theoretically, it would be great. That little blower is already working really hard and putting out a lot of heat, and the MAT table starts pulling timing out very early, and pulling power. With the compressor running all the time, I wonder if it will wear faster, but that might not even be an issue.
For the price, I'd probably jump in if I didn't live where I do.

I don’t see this being an issue. It just T’s into your existing AC lines, sits behind the crash bar. You can hide the switch anywhere. You can’t see it and you don’t need to tune it if you don’t want to.
I’m not sure why anyone would say it does nothing. Your water temps stay below 40F even it hot weather. I think some people don’t understand the simple physics of air/water exchange. Your water temps will never go below ambient, it doesn’t matter how many heat exchangers you have.
Also it’s not even just about running hot and pulling timing. All blown cars, hell even NA will have power loss from hot weather/humidity.
Losing 8% HP going from a 50F day w40% humidity to a 90F day with 70% humidity is quite a substantial loss. Then add in any timing modifiers and now you just lost 100Hp.
Only thing it’s not good for is circuit track, because the AC is simply to small to keep the temps down for prolonged time. A large expansion tank may negate this though.
