Mike,

Just three concepts for all to consider concerning the INTRACOOLER II.  Thermodynamics, Entropy, and Perpetual Motion.
Does anyone think you will get more horsepower out of the system after using the compressor to cool the intake air?  I suggest using current from the alternator to run a fan that provides more air over the intercooler.  I would sell this device for only $599. Any takers?
