Any one know how to get frost on the intake on a 350 Chevy?
Its a horse power thing of cooling the gases in a cast iron intake engine on pump gas! At about 2500 rpms it turns white and you can rake off frost with your finger! The increased velocity and cylinder expansion makes horses! The how is what I am questioning!

Increased velocity? Baloney. Colder air is denser--that part is true. But cooling the intake doesn't change air velocity. If you're talking about a carb engine, you need the heat to vaporize the gas coming out of the venturi. If it's fuel injected and has a MAF, cooling the air AFTER its gone through the MAF won't change anything.

Without piping some sort of refrigerant to run through the intake to create this frost, it isnt going to happen but you would have to create some sort of A/C setup to do this. But now your turning another HP stealing pulley in the process so it will have to be something not ran off the engine

I've done it many times on my Dyno. One of the key factors is the "distillation curve" of whatever fuel you are using. I'd bet that 99% who buy Race fuel only think about Octane. The rest of the data is completely foreign to them. Get educated. ;)
