[QUOTE="MalcolmV8, post: 15090607, member: 8854"] After driving around for a few days I can report the killer chiller works. Around 65 ~ 70F out the other day I saw 120F average IAT2 temps. My car used to run mid 130s all the time and after hard pulls it would go to 140, 150 and even 160+ in really hot summer. Granted its cooler now but after making a pull through the gears it's hitting a peak of 134 ~ 138 and in less than 60 seconds I'm in the 115 ~ 120 range again. On a cooler night like tonight I was seeing IAT2 temps of 110 ~ 120. Funny when you decelerate with the throttle closed IAT2s in the 130s pretty quick. Lightly press on the gas pedal and immediately in the 110 ~ 120 range again. Fun to watch. I removed the heat exchanger completely. Bad idea. The A/C quit working at one point and in less than 2 miles I was at 150F plus IAT2. Pulled over and popped hood and let it cool before coolant started puking all over. Another time I wasn't so lucky and coolant pushed past the coolant reservoir lid and sprayed all over my engine and windshield (hood wasn't on car). So I compared IAT2 temps with a local GT500 with a built motor running a big KB blower. He has the Killer Chiller and left his heat exchanger in the bumper. In fact he has a monster aftermarket heat exchanger and his IAT2 temps are practically identical to mine. Average cruising, after pulls etc. Only he never has to worry about forgetting to turn on A/C or if it cycles out for a minute due to excess pressures or any other reason he's not overheating. With that I'm putting my heat exchanger back and leaving it inline. Apparently it doesn't heat up the fluid up enough to be of any concern but the upsides of having it are big. Car's running better and better each day. [video=youtube;qDkmGbbYDIQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDkmGbbYDIQ[/video] [/QUOTE]
