    COPO Camaro at the track

    went out to San Antonio Raceway last night to support some of my friends in the Mopar vs The World bracket race and saw this beast out there, complete with laundry and wheelie bar (trapped 154ish all night)





    a pair of 9.54s with the old school winning barely

    that copo also lost later in the evening to a boosted s10 with exhaust coming out of the front fenders

    I saw the copo run a 9.52 low last night

    I looked them up

    Now I didn`t talk to the guy but I`m guessing he had the boosted lsx 350 version because it said 350 across the hood/fender and he was pouring ice cold water into something in the engine area (which I presume was to water cool the blower)...but I could be wrong.

    Is that to cool the fuel down so it atomizes better?

    Yes. It also adds HP (believe it or not), and decreases mpg. Most evident if you live in north, when it is normally warm, and you have a really cold morning.

    Old school here. We called those a Cool Can. Had one on a Mach 1 with Nitrous. It would make a difference. Noticed it primarily after making several back to back passes. It really helped make consistent passes. He could also have had a water injection set up (i.e. Snow Performance etc.) but that would not require ice.
