[QUOTE=ratman]im not going to be running chillers on my 588s due to the fact i dont want to make addl hp. i dont wanna punish my drives or trans. /QUOTE]
Chillers main job is to prevent detonation. With a chiller you can run lower octane fuel & not worry about distroying the motor. They give you a bigger safety margin. Tomcat did a test with an intercooler & found it only added about 30-40 hp on a 700+ hp motor.

Jack is right; in the tests we did we had the intercooler in place, just ran it with and without water back to back. It only added 25 HP, but knocked the air temp down about 125F. This was on a centrifugal blower. With a Roots blower, just adding the intercooler doesn't add any HP unless you also put on a smaller pulley at the same time. The extra resistance of the core might actually reduce HP, but you would have a much bigger detonation safety margin.

Re: Blower Ingnition Questions
oops almost forgot the addl height may cause me problems. im running 588s with good heads and am only looking for a little over 800hp so dont plan on making much boost and am running 1071's. im sure i'll be underdriven, i hope 4 lbs of boost will put me where i wanna be. will 1071s generate much heat running under driven @ 4 lbs o boost? thx
