Anyone have one of these? The idea seems good, but does it work? Here is the link.

I'm not sure of the principle......
Nothing on the site talks about their dyno testing increasing HP... but it reduces air intake 35%.
Now in theory... you're taking a contained area (the intake tube) and chilling the air thats already inside.... so it makes it more dense yes, but the volume of airflow is the same....
just seems like a waste to me.... cooling the source air that it pulls from seems better.... the intercooler idea looks good tho!

It would seem to me thatd instead of putting a "bulb" right in the middle of the intake flow, it would be more effective to put the cooling unit on the pipe itself. Say you take a plastic pipe ie. Stock, Volant, Icemnan... then you make a "conversion kit" that replaces that part of a pipe with a plastic one with metal plates, or possibly just one metal section to run the cooling through. It might not cool quite as much, but it would not interferre with the air flow.

this has come up before main 2 things everyone was shady on is
1. That bulb takes up a lot or area in the intake pipe, dunno if the "gains" from cooling the charge would make up for the restriction
2. the condenstation that freezes and builds up on the outside of the bulb, when it melts now your sucking in water (not enough to cause damage) but enough to prolly make a cyl miss maybe

the engine temp is too high for the small beads of water to have any effect on your motor. evaps before it reaches anything vital.

sounds like a waste of money. It's true, the water would probably evaporate too fast for it to make an effect
It might be a nice alternative to Nitrous since my track doesn't allow it. Never the less it would be cool to have they claim it decreases the intake temp 40 degrees. are there any onther systems out there that do the same thing as this only in a different way i am interested in getting one.

i know someone who has one and it took 2 tenths off the 1/4 mile.
Your track doesn't allow you to use nitrous? Is it a track where you do laps or a drag strip? I would like to see some dyno numbers on one of these systems. It seems like it would be benifical to rally drivers who need to keep there cars cool in the long run instead of using water spray systems.
regardless of the density, the cool air burns better... the bulbs design does not effect air flow and the co2 that goes through it is -180 farenhiet... also, the myth of condensation is actually good rather than bad... the water freezes... thats right, it freezes... in which case it is less likely to cause a missfire when it gets in the engine... it helps, but its a bit too much $ to be worth it... unless you've run out of things to do...
