Yes, I did read that as well.

So what I will probably do is I'm buying my lift the first week of March. So I might be able to change the plumbing around to see which works best. none, one, or two, on the track. And then I'll report back here and let everybody know the results. Because I believe this is the future in performance cooling the IATs. In fact, since Dodge is already doing it, the future is here. We need to catch up. By the way, I saw your temps, how was FI's system? How was the AC? Did it have problems after a while? Did it lose it's cooling capacity after some time?

Sorry about the sarcastic bullet points out loud..... But I hate when people tell me what I'm thinking or what I'm doing when they don't have a clue. On the other hand, I'm amazed if they're right...

No worries I totally agree with you,plus your not the only one on this forum that has had issues with him.

I was very close to buying FI chiller but I decided to wait because most guys using then including CSP are for drag strip. I believe I could definitely be wrong that it will not perform as good on cooling the car snice roughly your 20min on the track giving it your all. And it doesn't have a break like if your at the strip.

I will definitely defer the capability of the chiller on the track to the professionals. If they say it's awesome and it will keep my IATs below a hundred, I'm in. Thai heat is different from the states for some reason. I don't know why, but even when it's not super hot, the sun still scorches you and especially the pavement, or the body of your car. It can be 75-80 and the asphalt will feel like 120. Anyways, I have to talk to the men at the company. I'll make my decisions from there.

That sounds like a plan and I'm interested to see what they tell you. If they say it will work and keep you IAT down I will also go that route.

The FII system is the best available, its a very nice kit compared to the cheaper and less effective Killer Chiller kit.. No issues with the AC, cooled just as well as stock.

He is a very very very very well respected professional tuner on this forum, who I'm listening to 100% because I know my ZL1 knowledge is extremely limited. The only reason I'm not listing his shop is because I don't want to cause animosity on the forum. He gave me advice on the expansion chamber ONLY. I have yet to ask him about the interchiller. However, from where I live, I'm pretty dead set on doing it. I hope he'll agree. And then I'm going to suggest rerouting the plumbing of the "deleted heat exchangers into the largest radiator that ever existed. Then I don't have spend a grand to upgrade my radiator either. The interchiller will pay for itself that way. I don't have to pay for upgraded heat exchangers, which would be another grand, I also don't have to pay for spacers, blanket, expansion chambers, nothing. I like this idea all together. The interchiller company that I'm serious about is fiinterchiller.com. 1850 bucks and I'll be driving around with 40 degree IATs without a heat exchanger and it's warrantied!. And "IF" I get to plumb the system like I want, I'm definitely not an expert on the ZL1 yet, the "deleted" heat exchangers will be plumbed to become the largest Radiator system this side of the planet. The right or left (I don't know) heat exchanger is already connected to the radiator I believe. So I'm assuming the center and other side can join the engine coolant party. We'll see I guess. I buy my lift in a few days and I'm going to need it with all the mods I'm doing.

I agree with the merits of the interchiller system and understand their purpose and effectiveness. Some of the information listed in your initial post concerning the 200° Dexcool is a bit delusional. Go for the interchiller and I wish you the best. For most here, this simple reservoir will suffice and prove to keep air pockets out of the intercooler circuit, increase capacity, and allow refilling with ease.

Agreed here, no harm in having an aux tank. Tthe Hellcat's have one from the factory too even with the factory chiller from 2019+.

So a $30 OEM tank w 10x markup or is there more ?

Yea besides the brackets and hoses and fittings and trying to put everything together.

There is a thread somewhere here that explains how you can put together a kit for around $60 but it's using the old magnuson black tank.

I'm interested.

For clarification; free shipping + $40 off to all 50 states.

If that's the case, I'm in as well.

Yes $40 off if we get 10 guys to buy if not we only get a $25 discount. I'll put you down so far we have 8 so we should be good for 10 .
