[QUOTE="IronTerp, post: 7338064, member: 12702"] Have to agree here. Open Track racing would be the one arena where a larger, more efficient heat exchanger would most surely assist in combating elevated IAT2 temperatures. With drag racing, whether on the street of track, one would think that the top end could possibly be impacted here a bit, but it's all over so quick, (especially with these cars!!!), one wonders just how much cooling assistance is actually occuring. There's a growing trend at the track to actually re-route the intercooler hoses and bypass the heat exchanger all together, just utilizing the ice from aftermarket intercooler coolant reservoirs to assist with intercooler cooling. When folks first started increasing boost levels and getting custom computer tunes back in the fall of 02', a big push started for the aftermarket HE as a theoretical means to keeping IAT2 temps down, thus preventing the computer from pulling advance timing. Don't believe it's ever actually been proven if the theory is correct. :shrug: [/QUOTE]
