Laminova and what it means to you.
A cooling system typically utilized in supercharging an engine that cools the post-compressed air with a liquid-to-air heat exchanger and in this case of the Stage 2 Innovate setup the Heat Exchanger is mounted in the front of the car. Laminova has been used in factory setups from the Cobalt, Corvette ZR1 and the Cadillac STS-V.
Over @ Science of Speed they play with supercharges on S2000s and NSXs and do some testing with and without Laminova-post-charge-cooling.

Images are from SC'd NSX and taken from SoS website. Their bit about their 2.1L Supercharger says something I haven't seen discussed yet in any FI thread:
recommend higher heat range plugs (aka colder plugs). In a Japanese plug like NGK that means going from a 6 to a 7 (higher is colder).
And what's this I see in the far corners of the googleplex?
An M3 with a PD SC kit and a laminova heat exchanger?! Oh Mercy no, how could Jesus let this happen!!!!
