This IC setup was built by Keith at Forced Fed Performance. And he wants a load of $ for the IC setup, while back ago TJ has asked Keith about the cost of it.

Re: Dave Stone's 9-second C4 - blown intercooled (Baldturbofreak)
What I want to know is what his tranny and OD looks like. He has a gear vendors OD unit connected to the back of the TH400 tranny. I very curious as to how his C beam connects. I have a water to air intercooler in my truck, and sure if you got it loaded with ice it can do better than 80% but in a daily driver with a water pump and an radiator to get the heat out of the IC coolant, its not near 100% or even 80%. On the freeway I can see better but in traffic that coolant rapidly gets hot after absorbing engine compartment heat. For a race car with a large resorvoir where you can drain and load it with ICE I can see a definite advantage. I guess one could rig up a CO2 bottle and spray it on the IC which would fog it with dry ice and drop the temperature way down......
Or do as the ricers do and spray it with liquid NOX

Not ice, brother, drive around using my a/c to freeze the liquid, unless you cruz under boost you have 7 gallons of ice cold water waiting to take your intake temps below ambient.

Re: Dave Stone's 9-second C4 - blown intercooled (Baldturbofreak)
A short burst w/ air to air is about 55-60% effficient. A steady state (high constant speed) is around 25% efficient. An air to air intercooler doesnt actually do any heat exchange until the event is over. Your using the thermal inertia of the aluminum in the int. core to do the job of cooling the charge, then the heat is exchanged into the environment.

PS- Shahan modified the stock torque arm too... It's only about 15" long now. But, the TH400/GV package looks like it's factory. David was considering selling it awhile back and I was going to buy it but he decided to keep it.
