I'm looking at the raven racing gt 500 heatexchanger suppose to be the best on the market and includes fans

 

Just whats posted on page 1 of the thread. I'll get some more this evening when the temps drop to 71f. That will make a fair comparision. It looks very promising.

 

Happy to report a 10 degree drop in my ACT's at WOT! I was able to repeat my test this morning as outdoor temp was 71. My peak ACT was 126F verses my previous run at 136F under the same conditions.
At the beginning of the run my ACT was 98-100F. Really happy with the results. 12psi heats the air about 120f so my set up is removing 94 degrees of that. $143 to drop temps an additional 10 degrees is not bad.

I still feel an increase in reservoir size and/or a larger HE would bring temps down even more. I will fab up a reservoir first as I already have some resin.

 

I also installed a Shelby GT500 hood vent. This will help let some heat out while sitting still. No doubt it will provide some ventilation while on the move.

 

With my saleen hood that I made functional I can see heat coming out of my engine bay. The blower is also louder too.

Also did you just add chrome side steps?

 

I've had the side steps since day one. I just take them off and put them on from time to time to change it up. Usually take them off when I drag race. They don't weigh much though.

 

please do a write up on the hood...

I've been thinking of doing this...

how did u do it!

looks great!

 

Will do Ken. Just secured it this past week. I was able to get it to sit a little closer to flush. Gonna test this afternoon to see if it helps underhood temps. Going to repeat a test I did when I installed my custom intake that revealed underhood temps of 140f when sitting idle for 13 mins.

 

Did you notice the whipple being louder? I swear my saleen hood with open vent made it more noticeable

 

Couldn't tell you. Haven't been in to it for more then 4-6psi. TPS sensor is on it's way out so anything over half throttle upsets it.

 

Was able to check under hood temps. Down to 118f from 140f despite it being 82f outside. When I recorded the 140f temp it was 69f outside. Not bad.

 

Yea like I said I can see heat coming out of my hood with it vented. I never measured temps though

 

Whats it doing? I've yet to have to replace one on a modular at work. Just curious what symptoms you're having

 

I'm not sure if this has been tried, but what about spraying water on the intercooler? I do refrigeration for a living and a lot of heat can be removed by adding water to a coil. This may be common and I just don't know it. Either way I think it would be an easy way to get a little more cooling.

 

You can run a small shot of nitrous 35 shot over the intercooler and it will cool the air charge tremendously and give you about 50-70 rwhp
