Comparison/info on heat exchangers

[twawsico]

I'm considering upgrading the heat exchanger on my '13, getting larger coolant tanks and a 170 deg thermostat.

There's a fair amount of info here about the C&R Super Competition GT500 Dual Pass / Dual Puller w/Fans (56-00001). I didn't find much info on the VMP Dual Fan Triple Pass Heat Exchanger for comparison, though. Apparently both have 11" SPAL fans.

Any info would be appreciated.

The C&R Unit uses a Visteon core similar to the original version but due to the size of the core the price increased.

so what would be recommended for just a cruiser on hot days and the odd rip down the track?

I am currently having one of my Super Competition Heat Exchangers coated with a specialty coating that makes the core even more effective.

Then I data log and see. I can say that we have seen down stream air charge temps with the super competition heat exchanger 15-20 degrees versus a car with similar mods and an OEM heat exchanger.

Thanks, Van. I'll be out of town for work for a while soon, so I'm looking at mid-August to early September before I'll be pulling the trigger on a purchase. Do you think you'll have been able to test & log the coating by then? And, if it proves to be fruitful, do you have an idea of the added cost for units you would sell?

Thanks again.
