Has anybody tried the Killer Chiller from Kincaid Performance? The Mustang guys seem to really like it. Claim 40 to 50 HP thru cooler intake temps and less timing retard. Now making a Hellcat kit.
Thanks for the referral over to the SVT forum. But, seemed to me there was a lot of positive comments on the "conventional" system over several years. The new electric system seems to still have some issues.
No. Hellcat runs on a Cold Temp loop which makes it unique. The HC stock heat exchanger does fine without modification. However, if you want to keep the intercooler temperatures down on the Hellcat, you can simply get a larger capacity heat exchanger like BWoody.
I read in Hemmings Muscle Machines that the Demon is going to have a Drag Mode in the U-Connect screen which will in part, shut down the cabin A/C and reroute the chilled air to the intercooler for a denser cooler air flow and less timing retard.

Yeah, I was considering it for my GT500 back in 2010..those systems were legit. What I've heard about the new systems coming out is not good..and it's pretty much a one man operation, so customer service is limited. Do it at your own risk, especially since you'll most likely have one of the first units & will be a glorified guinea pig basically.

It looks like it would be of major benefit to anyone who is racing these cars especially in hot weather, They claim a 40 degree or more reduction in precoolercoolant temperature. it will require removing the nose of the car and finding a way to mount the heat exchanger.
Lay a bag of ice on top of the supercharger when its hot and quicker cool downs.
My buddy showed me that little trick a few weeks ago on his z06. His times were phenomenal

I'd think you would always want air coming into your blower as cool as possible, witness all of the posts about hoping they will have a cool day for racing, expecting more power and a lower ET with the cool dense air.
guys, I know a Hellcat owner who is almost finished installing a Kidler Chiller on his car... I don't think he is on this forum, though.. I will update this thread as I get info.. I have seen some of his installation pics. Pretty elaborate set up...

Hmm, the Hellcat doesn't need it, true. However, a properly designed system that uses refrigerant to cool down the LTR fluid substantially has obvious benefits, also in how fast you can cool down between runs.
TrackDay Good point, I know of a member here who have used it in the past and have had good results on another platform AMG E55 (member Bstudey01) I did ask if he would use it on the Hellcat and his only complaint was, it hurts your AC efficiency. I know it great for cool down between runs and hot lapping.
1. The killer chiller set up I just installed appears to keep water temps consistently in the 40's regardless of ambient. Obviously the warmer it is outside the more advantage you will have over standard heat exchangers which can at best only cool things down to ambient.
2. So far, I have yet to see IATs rise during 2-3rd gear WOT runs (still tuning the car). Typically my IATs will go down 4-5 degs from begining to the end of run. Seem to level off once they drop 5 degrees. Track testing will show whether the system has the capacity to maintain a level IAT temp through an entire 1/4 mile. Bottom line, these kind of IATs are worth power that will show up on a time slip, without having to haul 100lbs of ice back and forth to the track.
3. I can sit in Washington D.C. traffic for an hour plus, park the car, and the blower is barely luke warm, the bottom manifold is cool to the touch and the intercooler reservoir is downright chillly with a bit of moisture on it. I plan to insulated the aluminum moroso tank to prevent further loss due to hot engine bay. Bottom line, heatsoak on the head unit is now non-existent.
4. The race set up is just a solenoid you integrate into the high pressure line that effectively isolates the cabin from the cooling loop and only circulates freon through the chiller circuit. Therefore there is no humidity being sucked out of the air and dripped on the ground. It is a must have for the track. I have mine on a simple switch, defaulted to open, and flip the switch to close the solenoid for track days.
5. Its so effective Dodge just integrated this A/C cooled chiller design into the Demon and claims it drops IATs 45 degs in race mode. I saw it first hand yesterday.
I have a 4" pulley on it now for shake down runs which puts me right at 12-13psi. If that goes well the 3.1" goes on. I should see 18-21psi eventually.
Nice to see you here Chris.... i have followed your builds for years...you.were the only one able to explain how to properly wire a BAP with a relay...
