Liquid Intercooler
Has anyone here ever fabbed up a liquid intercooler using there existing front mount? I see alot of turbo mustang guys using this setup and it looks to be really efficient. I know it's a pain to load it with ice every run, but in a all out race application I could see it being beneficial.

Might be cheaper and easier to add an alky kit. It lowers the intake temp something like 50-100 degrees, I think, and also is an octane booster.

Hmmm... interesting. I have to do a little research on how much a liquid intercooler drops the intake charge down to. If it's not more than an alcohol kit would be then yes, that is the way to go. What is it, for every 50 degrees it's around 10 horsepower?
