[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 16224893, member: 30361"] The larger tank won’t necessarily “lower” your IAT2’s below your current average operating temp, but it will allow you to maintain low temperatures longer. If you think of the coolant / water as basically a heat absorber it may make more sense as to why a larger supply of water would make the charge temps stay cooler longer. The coolant basically takes heat out of the charge air and as it flows through the after cooler, then goes through the heat exchanger and exchanges that heat through the sinks on the HE; then repeats the cycle. Having more water allows for the system to move more heat away from the charge air, so basically you’ll be able to resist heat soaking the coolant for far longer and under far more intense driving cycles. The larger the volume of water available to move that heat away from the charge air, the longer it can move heat effectively without increasing its own temp to the point that the HE can no longer do it’s job effectively (IE: heat soak). Most guys will eliminate the under hood coolant tank when they add the larger trunk mount tank since it’s really just redundant at that point. They usually have a small petcock on them that allows you to drain some coolant out of the tank and make room for ice. I’ve never had a trunk mount tank so I can’t attest to exactly how I’d handle it, but I’ve been around plenty of cars that have had them and that’s been the routine. Just keep packing ice into it at the track then top it off at the end of the night for daily / street driving. I still think that a port is your best option. If you can reconcile with Jay, he is the best in the business, but if you can’t get past his sarcasm (which is usually what people misinterpret as him being just a dick) he’s a great dude and really good at what he does. That’s your business, Jay is a friend of mine, but I an understand where you're coming from if you feel like someone disrespected you, you gotta do what you gotta do. If you can find someone else in business with a good reputation for porting these things, the difference is night and day. [/QUOTE]
