Since I don't know much about nitrous, it introduces a cooler denser air charge
My question is should you try to get the coldest air you can into your intake? Is there a point where it could be too cold? I'm not planning on nitrous, but my friend cole has an audi that he couldn't figure where his a/c was going but I found the problem on the passenger side the old style crinkle duct was disconnected so I connected it but this is where we expiramented. I ran it into his air box the idle quality improved (not that its a supercharger) but we both swear the car feels more responsive more power there is definitely something between the coder air and performance.I'm going to try to find someone with time and a dyno. The dyno I can find, time for this , EH?
 
That's one of the ideas I had when I was younger. When I was about 16, I would hang out with a friend and we would come up with crazy ideas on improving cars, making cars faster, etc. Besides the A/C thing, we also had ideas for a remote-mounted leaf blower setup, and compressed air tanks (even back then, I realized this wasn't a very safe idea). Unfortunately, we never got a chance to try any of our ideas out, but I always figured "if it was such a good idea, why isn't everyone doing it?". But you never know. I say if you're already this close, go ahead and keep messing with it and try to get dyno time. I'd really be interested in the results. Good luck!
 
after looking at killer ch., the principle clearly works, just they have a stand alone unit vs having to run compressor, which will rob h.p. like you said, gotta keep working on it.
 
Cold Air Kit for Mark Vlll?

Can someone tell me where to buy a cold air box for my 97 Mark? I saw one on lincolnmotorspoprts.com. Is this my only prefabbed, guaranteed to fit cold air box with megameter mass air system? Is there something else out there that may not cost as much or is a better solution? My car has been in the shop for 1 month now with air systems coming in that just won't fit.
Thank you
 
the supercharged Lightning pickups had A/C cooling for the intake air, it gave like 20 seconds or something similar of extreme cooling for extra HP, then you had to wait 3 minutes for a re-chill!
 
I think it would have worked better if they took the air filter off the intake tube and connected the leaf blower directly to the intake and put the filter on the inlet of the leaf blower
