Have any of you watched the grand tour episode with the crap Roush kit? Seemed to keep up with that 1k hp Whipple Camaro 10r80 under actual real world driving conditions. Mustang was also an Mt82.

Very interesting reads about Ice Tanks, we had plenty of 8.50 index and 10.5 Centri cars we tuned at the shop I worked at in the early 2000’s running them with great results

Its the only way to go if u wanna really keep IAT/IAT2 in check, larger HE will help SOME but there is no better way to cool the charge than an ice tank. Not messing with the Roush canned tune and just keeping IAT/IAT2 under control with allow for full timing and best ET

As a matter of fact Brian D. (Evolution Car) is car running one on his E85/Edelbrock on big boost (ET 8.70) setup as others too.

After I run the setup in stock form this will be my next upgrade, hoping to hit up DC Customs to build me one I can mount up front (Copy VMP to fit an 2018), for easier install but there may not be room? Seems VMP makes one for prior Mustang 11-17 but I heard VMP might be releasing (18) one? I have to speak to them, gladly buy that one.

The only other tank that mounts up front on an 18 needs to put the battery in the trunk, not interested in that option.

Weren't you the one who told me that Roush would void your warranty in a heartbeat for an ice tank?

Or was that old you before purchasing the kit that wanted to argue about everything possible?

Your Roush Kit will raise the iat2's of all the other cars at the atco track rental with just your presence alone.

My dealer had to turn off their heating system and turn on the a/c. They said my car was making the shop too hot for the techs to work.
Roush kits are proven to be partly responsible for Climate change and forest fires.

Ok, i'll stop now..
