Class run off
How cold are folks chilling their cars for heads up races?
What brand off chiller do you recommend? |

When you see frost on the cylinder heads, you're getting close...

All that aside though timing is everything. You can chill t down to 45 degrees in your pit and push it up and then an oil down or track prep delay and maybe a shutdown after burnout because the pair in front of you had an issue and all that hard work goes to waste. So it is best to time it properly and wisely. |

Re: Class run off
If you don’t have coolant in the intake like a six pack you can get it too cold and it will die on the staring line. Nothing is more embarrassing than having to restart your car when the tree is green.

It's just another one of those things that can't be taken for granted, it has to be tested.

If you can get it that cold, then maybe you need to hook the choke back up! With my Iron Intake, I can't get it cold enough, that's me, maybe my tune up is too fat. Respectfully, Henry Kunz 1534 H/SA |
