Even without the parasitic loss from this...its still a gimmicky system. People probably have bought it and tell their buddies how awesome it is without collecting any data.

Honestly, this reminds me of the electric supercharger you put in your intake for $29.99 off of ebay except it costs $700..so it HAS to be good!

Again, i can see it maybe making sense on the drag strip...maybe. Where you sit in line, blast AC all over your aftercooler coolant, drop it below ambiant, turn your AC off and make a pull. Then its all over before the system heat soaks again. But in real world, street, track, this reeks of cheeze. Even on the strip you would be far better off dumping ice in the tank as stated before.

Basically, in order for this to be effective, the AC on a constant basis would have to out perform the under hood temps created from the engine plus the heat created from the supercharger, which are like 200+ degrees to begin.
