and you just saved me 150 bucks.. Thank you so much :beer:

Nice. What do you use it for?

 

[COBRA97SVT]

What did you upgrade from? Let us know if you notice a difference.

 

[poisonpony96]

I have the vortech after cooler. So I upgrade from a smaller oil cooler that vortech uses in the kit. I was reading water temps around 120 before so I take some readings later after I drive it around for awhile.

op: thanks my brother it wanting to s/c his 97-cobra & you just gave a idea ! :rockon:

Ok after a 40mile round trip. 190 supercharger 125 intake and 80 for aftercooler and coolant temp. This was a 70 degree day. Last time I checked on 80 degree day think intake was 125 might have been higher can't remember but coolant and coolant intake was 125. So big differance!

All you need now is a killer chiller and you will be all set.

 

[poisonpony96]

Yeah I have seen it but not how it hooks up. It runs off ac right?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

^^ you don't really need a KC system with a vortech because they are waaaay more efficent than a KB or Whipple.

 

[svtrickey]

Yes, it runs off the A/C and every little bit helps with the air temps. Think about it this way if you go it below ambient temp your golden. Then the colder it gets the better the car runs. I don't know if it is possible to get below ambient but I would be willing to bet you could if your only 10 degrees above it right now. As some of the lightning guys are seeing a 50-60 deg. drop with the killer chiller.

^^ there is such thing as to cold actually. poinsonpony96 talk to Drew at AED and he'll tell you his Saleen was actually running to cold of intake temps on a dyno pull once and made less power lol..

Interesting to cold? Yeah I saw dress saleen he has the afco on it. Does he have the killer chiller to?

 

[98 Saleen Cobra]

^ No he doesn't. These S/C's don't produce enough heat to really warrent one. He was telling me he dyno's his car with ice in it and it was actually to cold on the dyno so they had to wait for all the ice to melt.
