Cold Air Induction - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The benefit of the really cold air would probably not make a difference considering you are now using engine power to turn the A/C compressor.

Now for a really wild idea I was wondering how long it would take someone to rig up an inverter and put a big electric blower on their car. Wouldn't think the draw from an alternator would be too much and you'd be able to use a reostat inside the vehicle to adjust your boost.

Hey guys, those thoughts of the a/c being used for cold air induction aren't too crazy. F**d is putting an a/c condensor to the intercooler on the 04 Lightning's so when under boost, it cools the intake charge considerably. It's supposed to work for like 20-30 second increments before re-charging (which is oddly just long enough to make a quater mile pass).

OK GM, balls in your court.

This can't be true. The current GM powers have proven they are playing with NO BALLS! Look at the new SS as a perfect example...

I don't remember where, but they systems do exist and I have seen it somewhere online. They are specifically making them for prostreet cars, but like someone said before, the new Lightning has it already.
