[QUOTE="TrueBlueGT, post: 4672690, member: 14641"] Yeah.... You're in Chicago. You are in a place where people DIE (literally) when it gets over 90*:rollseyes Hot to you & hot to the rest of us maybe isn't the same thing. And wtf does winter have to do with anything?? Not too hard to keep temps down when it's 12* outside. I don't know where you get the idea that we are talking about 'gains' from these mods. They are not hp adding mods; they are mods to prolong the life of an engine. Adding capacity to the volume of the cooling system allows more coolant to be out of the motor and/or sc at any given point, ergo said coolant's temperatures are allowed to dissipate more given the additional time out of the engine. Adding a larger reservoir increases capacity; adding a more efficient h/e dissipates heat more effectively than the stock one; adding the head cooling mod provides an exit route for the pooled coolant in the back of the left head & allows it to circulate back into the system as opposed to sitting there getting hotter & hotter & hotter. And that WILL fck up the engine. Can you 'get away with' running the stock stuff & no cooling mods? Probably. Is a $6K rebuild worth it because you were to stingy/stupid to add a few hundred bucks worth of cooling mods? IMO, no. If you truly think that reducing temps is not a vital & intelligent part of engine management, then I am done talking with you because you are a moron.:bored: [/QUOTE]
