I guess they didn't want the SRT 10 Ram to try walking on them.

I personally find the intercooler set up really cool and can't wait for the patent to end on it.

there is a scary truck i always see around here, its one of those extended cab, extended bed jobbers that are as long as a bus and it has about a 3 foot lift kit and what looks like 36" swampper meats on the rims. It also get the award for loudest truck of the century. one of the few vehicles you could litteraly drive under.

it wasn't stock then. Unless your talking about the newest production style that are SC'ed. The older style, early 90's, are slow

well this one looked like a regular early 90's F150 with a small lightning badge on it and it looked completely stock, it even had hubcaps and a ladder rack on the bed. I still have to time slip at home.

When I was driving around with my friend I pulled up to an 03 Lighting. I already knew they were freakin fast but I thought hey, It should at least be fun. Light turned and he gave me the shaft hardcore. They are trucks not even some modded 240's wanna mess with. Speaking of Ford, my dad wants to get the new 05 Mustang... I think it looks cool, but that Interior bl0ws

Damn That is hard core. Drag racing with a damn ladder rack. Are you sure it had hubcaps though. I mean that seems wrong. they had alloy wheels. IIRC

just taking a wild guess. It's probably running an aftercooler with a SC setup. The coolant 'lines' run through the cooler, and not exactly dumped into the inter/aftercooler.

seems to me that it'd be kinda like an air conditioning codenser hooked up to the intake

You mean an evaporator. A condenser would heat up the air.:pface

Its running chilled refrigient off a resevior. Thus unlike sticking A/C in the intake, there wouldn't be a power drain when the system is running, only when its recharging. Similar in concept to the Insight Hybrid, in a roundabout way.
