Improve your cars ET with this week's Tip !

 


 This week's tip will improve your muscle cars performance !

Cold fuel will vaporize more quickly than hot fuel, so adding a cooler can add horsepower. You can buy one or you can save some cash by making one. Take a large coffee can and line a coil of copper tubing around inside of it. Drill holes at the top and bottom of the can for the copper line to enter and exit. 

Attach the appropriate fittings to the copper line to connect it in series to the Carb.



Seal the line to the can to prevent leaks. Connect the fuel lines, fill the can with water, and inspect the can for leaks. If there are no leaks, fill the can to the top with ice, and install the lid. As fuel circulates through the copper coil, the ice will cool it. 

When it hits the hot manifold, it will vaporize instantly, and be ready to ignite when the plug fires! 

You can drop 1-2-tenths off a 1/4-mile time,and increase speed by 4-5 mph.

Moroso also makes a plastic version that keeps the ice colder and it doesn't rust out in a few seasons. It also uses a more efficient heat sink design.
