A genuinely cool idea.

This isn't new tech, it has been around for years and recently discussed here on the forum. Companies like Killer-Chiller have offering these solutions aftermarket, and generally work well.

Freon chiller on IC..
trans brake
2-step
more power
less weight (than before)
drag radials and skinnies
steeper rear end ratio
factory CAI
launch/drag mode
huge hood scoop

I'm becoming envious, I must admit.

Fantastic. Dodge has figured out how to grab their audience and feed them candy, understanding that few of them will actually buy that product. Hellcat promotion sells "normal" SRTs and R/Ts.

There won't be many Demons, but the marketing buzz among muscle car guys is inescapable. A trans brake and DRs on a production car??? What???

More of us (Hellcat Challenger owners) will be asking, "which Demon parts can we buy from the MOPAR Performance catalog?"

As for adding this tech to the LT4... yes, please! Summertime at the drags!

I found like 80 pictures of the Active Interchiller C6 / ZR1 installations here. I don’t see why it would not work on the LT4, they are on all the LS cars and trucks. I know they are looking for a C7 to volunteer for fitment.

Competition C6 ZR1, kits feature CNC Denso to Tube O-ring adapters and no drill Chiller Mount.

O.J. Coletti of Ford SVT fame had the patent on that.. wonder if it's expired or he's going to get royalties on it?

You forgot one major thing, huge market adjustment. There's some on ebay selling for $140,000- $150,000. For $150,000 I would buy me a brand new Z06 and a Hellcat.

Just spray it with pure methanol. Problem solved. It's progressive, cheap and on demand. I run Julio's kit on my street/strip drag car so it truly has dual personalities. Pump gas all the time, and if get into boost, it starts spraying alky and cools the intake a ton and more power with more boost.
