I GOT MY SC INTERCOOLED NOW !!!!

Now your using your noodle!

thats thinking But one slight problem

The AC slurges water onto the track So the other racers will not like you for putting water down onto the track. but if this dynos good Running it on the street is a good option.

You are half right Lundgren. Whiule it is true that the charge needs to be cooled, it is also true that the cooler the air going in the blower, the less heat it will absorb during compression. Of course, the AC power losses will outweight any *cooler air* gains. Also, there is no way that the AC can supply anything like the CFM that the s/c consumes. The gains, if any, will be more of a placebo effect.
The mind is a powerful thing, many times we convince ourselves that certain modifications are amking more power only to find out under rigorous tests that actually power is lost. This is no bull, a perfect example is the "filter on a stick" intake systems that sound pretty cool but since they suck hot air from under the hood, will actually cause a power loss. This is a fact.

You are better off going the route I was talking about. You want a stand alone compressor running off power drawn from the alternator (way more efficient) and have this compressor cool a grate between the blower and intake manifold. The post blower air will be cooled signifigantly and depending on the grate design, might lose a pound of pressure or so. Making things fit and fabricating the pieces to make this work might cost more but it will be the REAL answer to intercooling this system. The power gains overall (which is what counts) would be great.

Perhaps to be most efficient, you could use a compressor
onboard (during that minute while you sit at a stoplight or
waiting for staging lights) and then do a version of a <a

fuel rocket</a>. hooked up under the rear end. You've already got
fuel onboard (gasoline), and perhaps compressing air with its 24%
O2 would serve as an adequate substitute in the form of
instant-car-brewed-rocket-fuel.</p>
