[QUOTE="Norton, post: 15790883, member: 145307"] Good advice, as is contacting Justin at VMP. I posted my experience [URL='https://www.svtperformance.com/forums/threads/vmp-triple-pass-dual-fan-heat-exchanger.1113131/']here[/URL]. To summarize my non-scientific, but real world, observations: - The stock unit is very capable, as long as air is moving across it. You won't have many (any?) issues until you're stuck in traffic or crawling through the pits before/after a high-speed pass down the strip. This is when my (pre-H/E upgrade) IAT2 readings rose well above 125'. The new H/E and tstat greatly reduced this problem, allowing me to hot-lap several times, despite 90'+ ambient temps. - Having observed my engine temps and IAT2s in multiple conditions over a period of years, I know everything (coolant temp, head temp, and IAT2) all run ~20' cooler post-upgrade. - Engine temps now run between 165' and 175', and IAT2 don't top 120' even in slow moving traffic. - I had almost no ability to hot-lap before the upgrade. Despite ambient temps in the 90s, I'm able to do so a multiple times following the upgrade. [/QUOTE]
