Engine Chill Down Unit

To answer Matt, Garrett and Joe D., I thought it was worth .07 at the Dutch Classic last year, but only about .03 or .04 at the Atco National Open in May of this year. Those are the only two times I've used it in competition. But this is only based upon what my prediction software thought it should have run, based on prior heads-up tests.

With ice water I can get the out-coming water down to about 70-75 degrees, while keeping the oil hot, using about 5 gallons of water and 2 large bags of ice.

Getting any cooler takes much longer, not to mention a couple of fresh loads of ice. And then when you cool it too long, you start to see the oil cool down, which is not what you want.
