I am currently rebuilding my engine and converting it from a LT1 to a LT4.
I found a Air chiller like thing in a mag that I have but don't know how it will effect my engine.
It uses liquid CO2 that flows in to a bulb that is inside the air intake tube that cools the air.
But the on problem and reason I am forced to rebuild my engine is simple. I recently placed a TB bypass and that caused steam to build up in the back of the engine. The rea son this happened is because the coolant that flows through the TB is used to help convert the steam back into water and retune it to the system. The other reason for this is that it is a reverse flow coolant system that flows to the heads then the block. If you think I am wrong it is planly stated in the GM manuel for the year on my engine.
What I was wondering is if the cool air would hurt the system and was wanting some opinions.
