Default it works very well on my plane but I think the jurys still out on car apps. not enough velocity ....
in my opinion to reduce temps much, but I am thinking of trying it out on my Avant.

Default It doesn't GIVE you horespower...
It simply allows you to maintain it by keeping down IC temps. Of course I never experimented with chilled water. That might (*MIGHT*) give you a few extra HP?

Default It's a PITA until you get it setup right.
After that it's great! It took me about 2 weeks to get everything dialed in...lots of fine tuning.

Default What velocity issue?
It works fine in cars, the latent heat of vaporization is not velocity dependant. If there is a low delta T, it isn't going to do much.

Default if you ran at 130 all the time but for average everyday stop & go I dont think you would
get much heat exchange especially considering the thickness of the IC's. humm? maybe some puller fans.....???
