Only make a difference on high hp applications with high under hood heat issues. As my friend says (who raced back in the day), filling that thing with ice over and over gets old real fast. Waste of time, won't see any measurable improvement.

I wouldn't bother unless you a building a high hp drag car IMO.

Reviews say they are useless for street applications but you can see slight increases in HP at the drag strip.

Damn 84stock beat me to it.

i totally mis read that. i thought you were using cool as an adjective, not a verb. so like an awesome can, and the only thing i could think of was a muffler. i am way too tired.

Yea, same here, but all I could figure was that it was a female posting, bragging about her can. LOL

Don't say that, I knew exactly what it was. I've been contemplating a way to ice the intake manifold. I believe the air temp is more critical than the gas temp.
