compressed air will blow cold too.. ever notice the ice forming on the drain **** on a compressor when you empty it?
Moisture would be a problem there though. And its mostly vapor so you cant grab it all with only an edge filter.

First it was a concrete bedliner to get the truck to ride better, now we got guys stickin freezers under the hood to cool off the intake charge?
I like XLR8R's idea, just drive through colder air!!!

Ok , by popular request! here it is , almost not quite finished ( it is finished and installed in the truck , i just do not have a picture yet)
Sitting as thought it is assembled:
clamped:
Mig welded on the bottom and sitting in the truck:
Un painted , no hole , and sitting in the truck:
I have since finished it , and have been using it , it helped drop EGTS a little, but i know i am getting lots colder air now, i will snap a finished picture tomorrow and post it as soon as i find time ( this seems to take roughly 3 weeks lately

Hey don't CRS on us now - I'm looking at picking up a BHAF @ NAPA and some sheet metal tomorrow . . . Don't have a mig though so I'll probably either pop it together or zip screw and caulk w/hi temp black. Oh wait my buddy has a mig at his resto shop - six pack and a readon to visit. Priceless

You should take a inlet temperature before and after the cooler. I'm having a hard time figuring how your gonna make a big impact on your inlet temperature without using energy to extract (AC system) heat from the inlet temperature. Even if you drop the inlet temperature 5 deg's, you horsepower for a small engine (car or truck) wouldn't be enough to feel the difference. If you cool the discharge air of your turbo that would be a different.
