I'm going to be picking up this bad boy early next week when Lightning Force Performance comes back from the holidays. This is really going to be a benefit once I install my Procharger Kit.

Here's a link: http://www.lightningforceperformance.com/catalog/productDetails.php?productID=1208

I have yet to see anyone having a cooling issue with the stock fan and radiator even in heavily modfied cars runing front mount intercoolers here in texas.

I'll have to say, the stock cooling system is very efficient. With the 2.4L KB and 11psi of boost, I've yet to see my coolant temp any higher than stock.

Not from what I've heard. Spoke to a few install shops that were running the ProCharger Systems and they said they were having overheating issues. Once they installed this radiator, the problem vanished.

I'm having my Procharger Installed all at once and want everything to be just right.

I reccomend this to anyone with an aftermarket S.C.

Just read the January issue of MM&FF's and you'll see why

Interesting, a totally trust your word. The Procharger must be emitting some very hot air...the Kenne Bell 2.4l setup doesn't take the car over normal operating temps. Looks like a great addition to the Procharger!

Is it much lighter than the stock radiator?

When running your vehicle with a supercharger @ 3500 RPM's + for a prolonged period of time, you will have a heat issue.

I spoke to LFP and the weight is 16lbs. I have no idea what a stock one weighs but I'm going to guess because the LFP is twice the size it's going to be comperable.

You're gonna buy it no matter what but shouldn't you wait and see what happens? Spend the $350 on all the gas your gonna burn with the blower

This does look like an advertisement oh well..

Like said above, I'd install the S/C first, and then see if you NEED a bigger radiator. Granted, its less boost, but no extra heating issues with my Saleen S/C.
