...i use one bottle of water wetter, DI water and 10% dexcool. 3 gallon tank and a large heat exchanger. the heat exchanger size is in my opinion the most important. ...

...my IATs were max of 117• with the 2300 and 80• outside at wot.

i am using the heat exchanger for the GMT900s

Do u have the GMT900 HX dimensions handy?

Pat, where do ya get DI (I assume deionized) water from?
Prime Power uses antifreeze & some water wetter. Anything better, but if u live in a colder climate?

Who?

Prime Power, looking for more of a permanant solution like a Chiller Killer sounded good but price & running A/C all the time didn't? If u put biggest cooler (that 3 1/2" depth one on), what if it doesn't cool enuff for you, & u end up buying a KC anyway?

I considered the idea Most Hated said, how bout a bigger tank in the back that u can fill with lots of ice? But w/. a petcock to drain when it turns to water &/or gets too hot.

If u already have Trucker, why would u know that?

caddy03pimpin, got pics of tank in rear & Mezeire pump running the big Maggie HX & a 30x12x4 intercooler up front? U said it's hard to fight these IATs, but are u Radix or TVS? Any meth results yet? I thought 2.8", not the 2.4" pulley was smallest on a 112 w/o OD'g unit?

Ribeiro, any pics of that? Interesting to read different ways guys go about tackling this problem. brobradh77 & others are all battling the same issues... trever1t, Magnuson said V- HX is 28x14x1.
