My car is a DD, and in the next 3-4 months i will be done with my suspension and be looking at getting the engine setup. I prefer to get the kenne bell blower, but my major issue is that i drive a lot, a LOT, and i want to fight the heat soak as much as possible so i dont run into problems. i have a couple ideas in mind i wanted to run by the lot of you, and a question.
first, starting with my question, Does anyone know of another company that makes a better intercooler for the KB unit?
now, since my car will be driven daily, all day, i need to fight the heat as best as i can. I am looking at getting the 6lb non intercooler kit, getting the intercooler seperate, and using the AFCO upgraded heat exchanger, the large resivoir that people drop ice into (no i wont be icing my setup, but it makes for easier fills, and is the largest, plus it looks nice), and getting the upgraded pump for the setup.
best outcome scenario would be the larger rez holding more water making it take longer to heat up, keeping the temp lower longer. then the hope is that with the larger H/E will keep the temps cooler longer by having much more surface area to keep the water temps down. the faster pump to keep the hot water comming out of the intercooler to get it cooled by dissapation into the tank then through the H/E.
i figured i could save a bit of cash instead of getting the 9lb IC kit and changing out everything else by doing it this way. thoughts?
also, dont forget my question about an upgrade intercooler (i havnt found one yet, just curious if someone else has stumbled across one.
