AWESOME results! Can't argue with gain Vs money spent. Thanks for another great write up, Ben! |

Also, would this set up (chiller) work on a '17 SS 1LE, with a Whipple, LT4 pump and injectors and a JMS fuel pump voltage regulator? Or would it be overkill, or just NOT necessary, since with this set up (with stock cam, heads and pistons), I would/should be (theoretically) at its limits at about 600 whp (plus)? Thanks in advance! |

I would certainly tell you to take a look at it with your fuel mods as you're not at the limit of anything yet as we have made 700whp reliably from the LT1s with the LT4 fuel system and the 17s have the ZL1 tank pumps as well. You need to be mindful of the PCV system as the LT1 is more prominent to push seals without proper evac, and be less agressive on timing vs. the LT4 because the piston rings and rods are weaker. But regardless, the same principles apply, less boost, more timing, more repeatable power, and most importantly it is safer for the engine as you are cooling the boosted charge which results in less heat being pushed into the engine! |

I may not be an engineer and I can't explain the system in thermodynamic terms...but being an old school Hot Rodder, this meant more to me than anything....and that is why this system is on my car! |

Nick's Camaro SS is down from the Cleveland, OH area for the Chiller install before the Norwalk Outlaw races in 2 weeks! Follow along here:

Well I decided to get my car back in to Weapon-X today to get a lower pulley done and add more boost!
With Ben getting more data, you guys can really decide on the Chiller. |

Looking forward to it! I bet we will see 720whp on the stock long block with 93 octane!

The tests seem more comparable to drag racing situations than tracking to me... any thoughts on what the MATs and knock would look like tracking the car compared to these tests and if the Boost Chiller would be as useful in that situation?

Will methanol do the same thing as the chiller?

Hello,
When you recharge the A/C Freon, how much do you add to the 550gr stock? Thank you.
