From what I remember, Terry mentioned that the Profile car had a big hole cut into the frame/rail under the battery location. He posted this info a while back.
If this is the only way to get cold/cool air without an intercooler, then so be it.
I agree, that this is crazy. I would have spent a little money and got a water/air IC, then pipe the water to the trunk to a cooler where ice can be placed.
Terry, are you okay?
