[QUOTE="finally03gt, post: 14291334, member: 164204"] Sorry if this is already up somewhere. I saw plenty about each topic individually, but nothing comparing the two. SO, lets assume a guy has just bought a stock 2011 GT500 as a DD in Houston, and he has about $800 for the first mod. Pulley and tune: [URL]http://www.lethalperformance.com/shop-now/vehicle-selector/ford-svt-gt500-shelby/2011-2012-shelby-gt500/power-packages/lethal-performance-2010-2012-gt500-boost-upgrade-kit.html[/URL] or Heat exchanger: [URL]http://www.lethalperformance.com/shop-now/vehicle-selector/ford-svt-gt500-shelby/2011-2012-shelby-gt500/cooling/heat-exchangers/c-r-2011-2012-gt500-dual-pass-heat-exchanger-w-dual-puller-fans.html[/URL] My layman's thoughts. Houston gets a little on the warm side, so what's the point in adding boost, when the car can't handle the heat of stock boost levels? Adding boost and tuning, just to have the ECU cut timing, seems like gaining to turn around and loose. And if the tune doesn't pull timing for heat soak, that would seem to cause detonation. Seems like it would be more efficient to KEEP the power I have before looking for more. Anyone have real numbers on: 1. HP lost due to heat soak (stock) 2. HP lost due to heat soak (on pulley and tune) - HP gain with pulley and tune is pretty easy to find. [/QUOTE]
