How does the JLP supercooler work and what does it actually do for your Lightning?

 

It's an aluminum tank with tubing in it. You splice it into the intercooler circuit after the lower cooler and before the upper intercooler. You then wire your intercooler pump to a manual switch, fill the supercooler with ice and a gallon or so of water. Turn on the pump and it circulates the antifreeze from the resevoir tank to the lower cooler(to remove some of the engine heat) back to the supercooler tubing where the ice/water chills it more and then back to the upper intercooler and then back to the resevoir. You leave it running while in the staging lanes and add more ice/drain off water as it cools down the intercooler circuit to damn near ice cold. This allows for a cooler, denser shot of air to your intake and gives you fall weather runs in mid summer. I found mine to be good for approx .15-.2 in the 1320 on an 85* day.

 

4D THNDR did such a good job explaining it , I will just show a pic.
Heres mine and I love it.

 

Do you have to relocate the washer fluid? and do you need a different type of battery to go with that? Thanks, Shane

 

You can use your excisting OEM battery(You will have to remove the battery box though, It is such a tight fit with the OEM that the battery is going nowhere, or you can make some kind of holder) , but you will have to get a smaller W.W. resivior.(I can not remeber what ford vehicle it is from)

Here is a side view with the OEM battery, powercooler and (look closely) W.W. resivior.

 

I am interested in the supercooler.....where do you get one?

 

JLP.

 

Actually........the powercooler goes under the hood like V has......the supercooler is larger and it goes in the bed........
