[QUOTE="ChuckV, post: 2507542, member: 27371"] I would do the LDC Cooling Mod regardless. Altough the KB doesn't run nearly as hot as the Eaton, the main issue is combustion chamber termperatures. More power will always create more heat. An internal combustion motor is pretty heat ineficient, the majority of energy from the reation in the combustion chamber is turned into heat, not kinetic energy. This heat efficiency ratio doesn't really change, meaning that when you add more power, no matter what, you WILL create more heat. If you plan on tracking the car, I would STRONGLY reccomend that you do some cooling mods with the KB. If you look at the majority of high HP Cobra motors that have grenaded, they haven't grendaded because the internals couldn't keep up with the level of power, they died due to piston damage. They generated too much heat, the coolant reached boling point, suddenly, they have no cooling. Combustion chamber temps skyrocket. The pistons take heat damage, and can even seize up from heat expansion. My advise would be to email a tuner. They could easily tell you what they think is the best way to reach 500whp, and what, if anything besides the basics, you need to do to make the car reliable. [/QUOTE]
