Yes, from the rear tank go direcly to the ic. The problem is the tank is only 3 gallons so only so much ice it can hold. By the time you get inline and do the burn out most of the ice is melt.

How much ice do you put in the tank? I have a 6 gallon tank and would put 20lbs of ice in and circulate the water for a couple minutes with the car off and then drain some water and put another 8lbs of ice in before going to make a run. I would get 2 back to back runs before the ice would all melt and IAT's would start 35-38 and end 110 range. If i didn't cool everything down after making a run or 2 i would see IAT's hit 140-150.

I'll try my best to get to MIR, but no promise yet.

My tank would take a five pounds bag.
