Sure why not? There are many other applications out there running a roots blower, ICed, with Alky injection. My IC works good by itself and I don't need the Alky. I got the Alky to eventully drop to a smaller pulley and bump up some timing. Time and tuning will tell and i'm trying to learn how to do fuel tuning. I need help though, I feel I need collage to figure out the Powertuner.
Over the years I can only recall a couple people who claimed decent results with the SSIC. And even then they found its limitations and went to a Full sized and gained considerable head room. Its just a fact, its not effecent and heat soak really easy. My setup had a big FMHE, the 3.2 flojet, a fill T at first (which is cheap and gay IMO, good job ZZP) then i got a pressurized T from a Cobalt SS which helped but the core still sucked. Replaced the core with a fullsized unit, problem solved and it worked like a real IC should.
I have no proof but I'd be willing to bet the SSIC is completely heat soaked within 1/2 way if not 3/4 down a 1/4 mile strip. Compared to how my IC works, my other GTP S/C was always hot even crusiing, almost as if it was non iced. After a WOT run the S/C was so hot you couldn't touch it. Completely opposite from how mine works on the white GTP. My SC when crusing on a 105 degree day would still be cool to the touch and I could place my hand on it comfortably.
