Vortech blown 360 dyno day
Thanks, Moper; I knew you'd have some good information; you always do!
I think for now, I'm going to stick with the Snow-manufactured chemical cooler, just because it's what I have, and it seems to be working, at least, so far. I just bought a 4" crank, and a set of Eagle rods; still need forged pistons, so it'll be awhile before I have THAT puppy operational, but when and IF I ever get the stroker running, I may think about switching to a REAL intercooler, one way or another. At that time, I may introduce a second Vortech blower that I have into the mix by modifying the carb "hat" to a "Y"-configuration and running both blowers into the carb.
BOOST IS ADDICTIVE!!!:angry7:
Thanks for the info; I didn't know about the water-to-air unit from Vortech; sounds like something I could use...
NEEDSARESTO, I have been running 100% methanol in the Boost Cooler reservoir, but on this page,
http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=6 or, the page before, they recommend 49% alky and 51% water.
Most folks seem to just use windshield washer fluid.... so, I don't think it makes an awful lot of difference...
The Stage I Boost Cooler like I have sells on that website for $308.00, or so it says. I bought it a couple of years ago, so I'm not sure exactly what I paid, back then. Maybe a little less...
Intercoolers are like anything else; there are cheap ones and expensive ones... I guess you pays your money and you takes your choice!
Sorry I couldn't be of more help on that issue, but I just really don't know.
