Cooling Mods
I am planning on going to a 2.5" pulley and wondering what are the most effective cooling modifications? Heat Exchanger? Water/Meth? BOTH? Thanks guys.

If I did it all Over again, I would have done the dual Pass Endplate Option B first>> Then the 2nd Heatexchanger! I'm Currently running the dual Pass Endplate, Dual Pass Heat Exchanger with the stock 1 & the GM Option B Reservoir! She runs cool as a cucumber!

I was running water/meth in my Cavalier with the M45 blower (which was not intercooled) and the best results I found for both cooling and being able to increase timing without getting knock was a 60/40 Methanol/Water mixture. If any of you guys are running meth it can be bought very cheaply in the form of "Heet" which is a yellow bottle of drygas sold at any auto parts store or even Wal-Mart. This stuff is about 98% methanol.

you heard right, windshield washer fluid is actually about a 50/50 mix of denatured alky and water so it's a very viable option for Alky kits. Many use this with great success, plus it's cheap and very abundant.

I have been woundering if anyone out there has or makes a FMIC for the ss/sc, i would think that would be another viable altnerative to adding another heat exchanger and meth injection. OFcourse i have no idea how meth injection works and were in the heck id purchase more of it when i ran out hehe.
