There was someone at Maxton that had a turbocharged car and re-routed the AC
plumbing to route the refrigerant to the intercooler. Wonder what the losses
are to run the compressor and would you gain enough in return.

> When I ran the little Isuzu the first year at Maxton, I ran an intake duct
from the throttle body into the heater duct for the car. I kept the windows
closed and A/C on at the staging area, and turned the A/C off just before
starting my run, thus the motor breathed cold air from inside the car. I
guess had I been running a little more motor, or a little longer race, I'd
have sucked the air out of my lungs, collapsed the car's top, and shattered
the windows into the interior of the car. hee hee
> Serisously, I did that A/C thing only on my last run, and it was good for
almost six mile per hour over all previous runs. One-time, short-term
intercooling at it's cheapest!
