Just a thought....

Back in the day I can remember my Dad and some of his friends running cool cans. They would coil 3/8" hard fuel line up in an aluminum coolant catch can and fill it with ice. As the fuel ran through the can it was super cooled too. Just wondering what sort of effect this might have on turbo's or nitrous injected vehicles. The cold fuel would be more dense and could possibly slightly decrease cylinder temps. As I said before, just a thought. I know lots of old drag racers who have either heard of this or have used it and swear that it makes a diff. on the old high comp. V8's. (I did post this on ProMazda's site first but thought I'd post it here too just to see what you guy's come up with)
 
would only be of use for reducing combustion chamber temps....might be of benefit, but not much unless you're putting out 500whp

fyi - formula 1 engines have an interesting way of keeping combustion chamber temps down. instead of having a mist of fuel from the injectors like normal cars, they have a jet of fuel aimed at the valves so it hits the valves, cools them down then dispurses into the combustion chamber...
