We have made some revisions to the design to make this more universal for all blowers without additional brackets, changed how the pump was setup, etc. This makes it easier and cheaper for everyone....not S/C specific, no additional brackets, etc.



We are testing next week at the track and will be offering cooling packages with our new tank

We had the car at the track last night and with 69* ambient air our IAT's never got over 118F......and they started at 109F, which means this is less than a 10* rise in IAT's.

When we had this car on the track before with more humidity and about 78* ambient we were starting around 120 and ending up at 140.

The tank takes a ton of ice....it is great. We will have a package with the tank and HX up on the site as well as a non fan version of the HX

The fans sound REALLY loud in the youtube video. Do you think this is this an appropriate option for a street car or is it meant only for track cars?

I am using my car 99% of the time on the street, but would like to drag race it occasionally.

There really is no down side to running these fans, even for a street car. They are actually not that intrusive when you are inside the car, and we have been running these same fans on H/E's for GT500's and Cobra's since 2003 with no complaints.

Also, in the video the engine wasn't running, but if you like I can post of some video with the car running, from both inside and outside the car? It will at least give you an idea to the sound?

I don't have one yet, but I will make one for you!

And btw, we also offer this large Heat Exchanger without fans for $499. This might be a great option for you IF you think the fans are a little too loud?

Just remember the fans do an amazing job at pulling air through the exchanger at low speeds....it is really not that loud and something we have been running in the Mustang's since 2003

Will the fans impede airflow to the radiator at highway speeds?
Are you seeing any water/trans temp increases?
