VADIM, Ford is boosting SC with the A/C, can you do this?
The new Ford Lightning has found a way (one in which the added boost won't confuse the computer) to use auxilliary cooling lines to add up to a 50 HP boost to their new trucks. It works for short bursts then needs to recharge. Sort of like haveing safe NOS. Anyway, it sounds simple enough to supercool IAC even more than typical intercoolers with the use of the AC.
Any thoughts?

Yes, it can be done. However, at high cost. Adding additional systems adds expense and requires a lot of time to make it bulletpoof and reliable in daily use.
The system that Ford shown on the next generation Lighting is an engineering excercise. I highly doubt it will make production.
Basic C32 configuration can make 450HP if properly improved upon. 480HP with 3.7L. Anything higher will need a bigger kompressor.
