Actually I see quite a few people using bags of ice in their engine compartments at the drags.

Yeah, my friend used to have a 91 Z28 and he would use bags of ice on the intake plenum between runs. We'd also push the car to the staging area so the intake didn't warm up idling there. The L88's ran the coolant through the block then up to the TB/plenum, so the intake are got warmed up real quick.

That stuff is legit and it doesn't leak like a bag of ice does. It is the same principle as Cryo2 does but cheaper. Cryo2 has a bulb that goes into your intake and fills with CO2 to chill the air. They also have a fuel cooler where you put one end of the fuel line in one port and the other end in another and the CO2 chills the fuel before it reaches the combustion chamber.

I have seen these wraps at the track and they seem pretty slick.

Ive seen it quite often myself. A company called cryo2 started using that idea, but in the form of a co2 sprayer(in order to cool your intake. lower temp= +++hp)

Instead of creating a new thread I will bump this one.

I got one of these things for like 30 or 40 with 3 extra gel packs on a group by.

Where do you guys think the MOST effective location would be for a cooling device such as the maxcool (or a bag of ice lol)

Wow I think this thread backfired on the starter. Those things actually work pretty good IMO. Ice is still cheaper though.

Most effective would be the intake manifold followed by the upper IC pipe.
