Refrigerants

[Danny Barrett]

The thing about having "freezing" air going into your engine is that you'll
end up with ice going into it (from the air's humidity). Do we really want
that??? I don't think so. Besides, it ain't an intercooler (it ain't much of
a "cooler" at all - at least as far as its primary intended use is concerned).
