OK, I don't have a CIA, but have seen mixed reviews on their effectiveness... in principle, actual cold air should give a denser air charge, which means more fuel burned, etc., so in theory, there could be some gains to be had here... just not sure about most CIA designs that rely on ambient air temps.
So I had this idea a few months ago - about actually cooling intake air using chemical-only cooling mechanism with a radiator/heat sink design in the air stream. No chemicals/gases would get into the airstream, it's just to cool the fins, which in turn cool the air. Anyhow, seems like someone else already thought of this, albeit with an aerodynamic bulb design... anyone familiar with this product?
CryO2 - Cryogenic Air Intake
...really curious if this would get much better results.
