Heat Exchanger AFCO vs Livernois
Have any of you compared and can tell me the difference between the Livernois and the AFCO heat exchangers? They both are dual pass and look very similar. But there is a huge cost variance between the two, what's the difference?

I have the afco. Running 16psi, with headers and ls9 cam. The hx works perfectly and keeps temps nice and cool. My sc lid pretty much stays cool and my temps stay nice and cool. I found it on ebay actually listed under another company. Cross referenced the part numbers and it shows the afco thats usually around $100 more. its the same exact hx.
At this point, I see zero need for anything bigger or better as this works perfectly and for $389 I'd be hard to beat the bang for the buck there. Lightnight force performance is the "brand" Just a renamed afco for $100 less. |

I have the Livernois and haven't experienced any problems whatsoever. I haven't tried the AFCO and do not know the difference between the two. Both seem to get good reviews. Maybe someone have done a side by side comparison.

Do you think the fan are necessary for a weekend cruiser? I live in Georgia so it's gets pretty warm down here.

I wonder does the Livernois one work better and would it be worth the price difference? I think the AFCO is around $500 to $600 cheaper.

I have an afco with dual fans, roto fab reservoir. I wired up a switch to turn the ic pump and fans on at the track , works great ! I debated on fans or not, then decided fans too for that extra little bit. You don't want to take the front end off anymore times then you need to. Do it once.
