MagnumForceGB, You don't by chance have any pictures of the spliced OE line do you?

MagnumForceGB · 11-09-2014, 10:56 PM

Picture I took after the install. You are supposed to use special tools that prevent scratching the fittings but my car is not really a show car, plus the judges won't see them unless I run them over. The 3/8th hardline to -6 AN fitting worked great.

Getting that little clip back on was the biggest pain, but it isn't hard once you figure it out. The place where the clip goes have 3 slots in them, each protrusion on the clip has to go into 1 of the slots.

That's great! I am glad that the small Supercooler worked out for you. Did you get that 12?

Ran a 12.5 @ 111, 0.5 seconds better than my previous time.

Cool, thanks for the pic. This is officially on the winter mod list.

rtcat600man · 11-11-2014, 04:50 AM

Thanks for the links and information. Now added to my potential winter mod list too.

Very nice! We will have to add that the cooler shaves a 1/2 second off of your 1/4 mile time to the product description!

Might need to put a disclaimer saying your experience may vary.

It was a huge drop in temps for my transmission, I think this will be a required for our cars. I will also be buying another one when I supercharge my wife's Mustang.

Also, those AN hose fittings sucked putting on, you have to use a dremel with a very sharp cutter to get a clean cut so it will push in correctly.

Found a Briggs and Stratton cooler on ebay for a good price. I got it today it's quite small but in the spring I will test it see if it makes a significant difference(unfortunately I live in Buffalo and do not own a real garage yet) reason for me posting this is I know the concern for room especially for the fi cars, which eventually I want to do. Is there any objections to maybe running 2 coolers? Any Input is appreciated.

I think running 2 trans cooler along with the stock cooler will cause a nice size pressure drop, might be bad.

1 stacked plate is all you really need.

BluedEvil21 · 11-13-2014, 04:24 PM

Ah yeah this is a good point...

Cable cutters and duct tape usually make for a pretty clean cut as well.
