Talking ghetto cooling mod!!

what u need....

1. zip tie.

2. good hood latch.

ok this sounds stupid but i was very impressed...... i took a large thick zip tie proped my hood and zip tied it to were it would only stay in the popped postion. i then took it on the interstate and did a few pulls...it 30 degrees here were im at btw. well after doing some long runs of 120+ i quickly pulled over cut the zip tie, lift the hood and felt my blower...engine....and injen intake.... i was suprised that my blower wasnt even warm and neither was the engine well maybe warm but not hot to the touch by any means... AND my injen intake was ICE COLD....literally it was freezing it felt like it had been in the freezer alnight...it was condensating too it was like when u breath on a window and it fogs up...yea thats what it looked like. my coolant temps got to 168 after the third pull. each pull was 40-125ish.. TRY IT!!

sounds ghetto as hell if that zip tied break bam hood would fly up you would lose control and you would be dead at 120 funny how you let your life trust a plastic zip tie

try this for a cooling mod.

1. remove hood
2. ratchet strap a midget to the hood brackets
3. give said midget 3-4 cans of aerosol keyboard cleaner
4. instruct same said midget to flip cans over and spray into intake
5. report back
