Why take the HE out?
well since its turned into mainly a track car I think the HE will hurt IC temps. figure I have 6 gallons of ice cold water in the trunk. that flows to the blower, warms up a bit and comes right back to the ice water.
if I had a HE, that water would have to go through TWO places that would warm it up. my IC water temps were 40 degree's at the starting line yesterday. going through a heat exchanger flowing 70 degree air through it is only going to heat it up. the purpose of a heat exchanger is to remove heat by using the outside air temp.
