I'm not a fan of those but I don't see anything wrong with them. If you can make it fast, good job.

Ive seen carberated cars running Ice box air-water intercooler with meth do just fine. The cooler the better.

Re: Picked up another turbo dodge.
I'm pretty sure something will need to be around freezing temperature for it to freeze.
I don't see heat dissipating that much. If it's 60 degrees outside, your fuel temp isn't going to get under 60 degrees. I'm also sure the air going through the carb will be warm enough to keep it from freezing.
Freezing should only be a problem in cold cold temperatures, when you're getting very little airflow...like at idle.
Then again, I've never owned a carb'd car.

I miss my turbo dodges I want another one, I love them I like how people like to hate on them cause they are kind of ugly but fact of the matter is I can throw less than $500 at one and blow the doors off your civic with a basic hmt setup
