    if you can cover the windows too, then yes. Otherwise self defeating What about modifying the exhaust pipe, so it goes in two directions, one into a muffler so it's all nice and quiet and another that just makes you smile when you press the gas pedal ... You get to choose which one by flipping a switch or if it's not motorized, with pulling something. It can be done, right? Money and time consuming, but doable. Easy. Exhaust cutouts, common on hotrods. http://www.summitracing.com/search/Part-Type/Exhaust-Cutouts/

    fuck the numbers game, i'll take your 110 over Florida's 95 any day. I can't even walk to the car without my balls sticking to my legs, god forbid I should walk more than 1/4 mile because clammy skin = friction in all the wrong places. Same climate we have here. 95F, 65% humidity, feels like your skin is going to melt right off your face. 110F, 20% humidity? Sure, it's hot but at least your sweat can evaporate fairly quickly. We had two weeks of that too. Only two saving graces: a/c and the lake. Shit. We had 4 weeks of 100-110 and anywhere from 40-70% humidity. Suckage. Then go to vegas and its 110* and 5% humidity, awesome. Although I felt totally dried out.

    Drop an LQ9 with a turbo in there. Time to really suck down the fuel.

    No because I know how hungry boosted vehicles are. Granted it may be different on water. That's a whole different animal, tune, and drag, so I may be wrong, but with a vehicle, if you are into the boost, you are using up a lot of fuel. Keep in mind you are forcing air in and compressing it where as the NA can only suck air in. The more air you have, the more fuel you need, so the blower is always going to need more fuel and a lot more. Probably asking something dumb but why does it seam that all my friends report better mileage after addind turbo to their vehicles. By all my friends I mean 2. In truth my buddy and his dad. He slapped on boost to his 5.0, and their old pickup. In both cases he claimed superior to 10% mileage. The truck more than the car however the truck was in truth not at all street legal and was only getting 7ish before the FI. I've always been under the impression that turbos are more efficient and will increase mileage (as long as the user doesn't drive any different), no parasitic loss like a super.

    I am sure there are 4's as well, not sure about two but perhaps. The cold plate is going to get expensive to run if this is for your house.... Oh I'm sure it would be, just some wild hair-brained scheme I came up with that would premix booze, syrup and seltzer for a booze and coke dispenser Alcoholic? Me? HA! http://homepage.mac.com/mmurph/bar/Info.html
