Looks to me like he is running his finger through condensation on the inter cooler to show how cold it is.

The results we are getting are phenomenal! We are seeing water temps in the 30* range on most cars and our LT 427 F1X car making 1300whp on 25 psi had 280* blower outlet temps and just 90* after at the top of a pull, and only about 100* through 3 gears!! It is just insane.

We had a 850whp CTS V3 on the dyno being tuned with our Whipple SPI kit and Corbin was making back to back to back pulls in 5th gear dialing it in and he said something like "What is going on with this car? Temps are still cold and these pulls are all within like 3 WHP of each other?!" He didn't know it had a chiller on it haha. The logs are on the shop laptop, so I'm trying to get those now to do a more in depth post.

Until then, who can tell me what this is?

The temps in the front mount tank were 34* on the OUTSIDE of the tank prior to insulating it. The water temps inside were even lower I cannot wait to share some of the testing from these test cars, after I compile the data!


1. For starters, guys claiming the OEM HX are enough to stave off heat from the increased boost are very very misinformed. On our Mustang dyno which simulates real world load, the X800 package could not even get through a single COLD pull without seeing knock/KR in the upper RPM band This is with the common 15% pulley too, so guys not addressing cooling with boost upgrades are leaving a LOT of power on the table.

2. Something I didn't consider, but makes complete sense from a physics standpoint is the chilled air in the intercooler bricks inside the supercharger had such a massive temperature drop that the logs showed 1-2 PSI LESS BOOST because the molecules are so much closer together, so the quality of volumetric air was vastly improved. So, the engine is safer and there is less stress on the internal components with a more efficient system.

3. Lastly, anyone whom has made back to back pulls on a supercharged car can tell you first hand, that the heat soaking robs power and this becomes exponential with the pulls. We were able to do hot pull after hot pull and the power was repeatable within just a 3% margin of error! Now a cold glory pull will still show major dividends for the guys who are getting it up to the starting line with minimal heat, but for real world applications where engine run time is a factor, the system is very impressive and continues to wow us!

This was nearly an hour after the car was shutoff in a 100* humid shop! Again, the entire system was insulated after as you want to guard the chiller system as much as possible from external heat influence.


Speaking of, the billet NX lid is a beautiful piece and there is some improved airflow with it; however, it absorbs heat much more than the OEM lid and any of you guys using it should consider having it ceramic coated prior to installation. You could cook an egg on that thing after running lol

Here is one of our test vehicles, a 2017 LT4 powered Camaro ZL1 with a 15% pulley, headers, etc and this compares the stock heat exchanger system to the chiller with both pulls being from a similar start as you can see the engine coolant is actually a few degrees cooler on the OEM heat exchanger pull vs the chiller pull. The chiller system was actually decreasing the Manifold Air Temps (teal blue line in the top bracket) prior to the pull, limited the total heat entered into the system, and then immediately started bringing it right back down! The OEM hx run had knock and higher boost; however, the chiller with no tuning changes allowed for approx 20whp more with less boost due to the dense air!

The Boost Freeze Plug and Play Chiller system is ready to go as we're ramping up production now! Also, keep in mind if you're close enough to Cincinnati that you want us to install, we're looking for a few more case studies on Camaros. I'll have my ZR1 chiller going on later this month as well, but would like to get some data on the 1.7L, the Whipple, and any custom air to water setups on Centris too.

The system includes all high quality components including our WEAPON-X center air to water heat exchanger with AN fittings so we can do all high quality braided line, custom insulated coolant expansion tank, etc.

You guys can read all of the details on it here and pre-order one of the first 10 kits in the Group Buy at 20% off by using the code ICECOLD1:
