Cobra Heat Exchanger Question

Having a hard time finding a difinite anwser.
I'm in florida so would a Cobra H/E be useful for me?
What kinda of Temp drop would this do for me and is there a noticeable difrrence in how the car performs?
Thanks!

I dont know what kind of drop you would see, but yes I think it would be worth it.

Anything to oppose the production of heat will assist in making power. To answer your question, I think the dual pass mod and the heat exhchanger will help you out tremendously.

i think a heat exchanger is probably not going to give you much in the way of a "temp drop" for normal running temps, thats a bit harder to do.

but what it will do is reduce the onset of heatsoak quite a bit.
IE, while your normal temps wont change that much, your temp at the end of a 1/4 mile run, or the end of multiple runs, should be reduced due to the extra cooling, and extra coolant in the system.

just my thoughts on it. (i have one in my garage waiting to go on right now hehe)

here is a simple science test for you. you can do this at home. or where ever you wish.

take a pot, fill it 1/4 with water. set it on the stove, time it. see how long it takes to boil.

take another pot, fill it 3/4 with water. do the same as above.

what you're doing is basically changing the volume of water. it takes longer for it to heat up. hence the bigger exchanger. this is not rocket science.

off topic a little, but what about it effecting air flow? Will it stop enough air to hinder the radiator etc? I have mine ready to go on, but was thinking about that.
