I just found a post on another forum for jags. Perhaps I wont do meth with KC .
"I had problems with the piston rings, the car started to use a quart of oil every couple of hundred miles. It turns out the water meth alone is fine but with the Killer Chiller it was turning the mist or steam into water droplets. The water meth is a good idea but not needed with the Twin Screw. "

can you provide a pic of your tank ginstalled? and again my IATs were never that high with my 180 which is similar to you 185, but a 195 is a whole new ballpark. plus i still kind of want to do the smaller upper SC pulley, which I feel would then require me to get a tank.

Only thing that makes sense to me is that the water isnt hitting a hot blower and vaporizing like you want it to.

I am running the EC HE and Bosch 010 pump on the car currently. I wasn't planning to delete the HE unless it truly does benefit more without it.
Are you guys saying it is MORE beneficial to delete the HE when running the Killer Chiller on our cars?

yes once it is warmer outside say 60*+ then you should bypass the HE, I saw a 10-15* drop bypassing the HE.

yes and no... if you arent doing a lot of WOT pulls then deleting the HE would be better as the KC would be always on... but if you are doing a lot of WOT pulls or really long highway WOT pulls then you would want the HE in place because once you go WOT the A/c goes off and thus so does your KC cooling.

and 40-45* water in 90f weather? lol.... logs please or it didnt happen... you do have logs dont you? or are you just talking nonsense
the op is in norcal= way colder than FL and his crusing iats are 52- 62 and the other guy from AL crusing IATs are 50-70... so are you in the special artic part of miami where you are getting the 40-45 iat unless you have a refridgerated trunk tank... who's making those refrigerated trunk tanks now?

lol... I have done multiple runs and like I said before you must find the best way to setup and tweak the KC, every car is diff even if they are the same platform, talking non sense..ok..
Do you have the KC? I do and have never had a problem with iats

What?? I actually stopped about 10 sec later and the water was cold! The KC is extremely fast at making the water cold
There's no way to cool the water with ambient temps better than the KC that is why the HE routed into or with the KC is a horrible idea, been there done that, like I said I tried every way to find the best way for my car
Actually even the manufacturer of the KC highly recommends against it as well

Can u Elaborate ? I followed the route that many of the guys running 10's ran. Trunk tank to front pump to inter cooler to heat exchanger back to trunk ? I thought the HE was to help with heat not make things hotter

The HE can only cool to ambient temps
At the track you have the benefit of the tank so you can add ice and get those iats below ambient but you usually gotta empty it every run or second run

Yes that is true flush out the hot outta the system and replaced with ice cold 
Ether way I know the trunk tank has benefited greatly, highest iats I seen were about 120 and that was when it was like 87 degrees and it was a 60-120 pull. Would hate to iats with out split cooling and trunk tank
