Will I be doing any harm running my 2.9 without a front mounted heat exchanger, or do I need to install it now.

 

hey man, what kind of numbers are you running...i am looking at getting the exact same setup you have (with a few minor modifications)...and where did you get it all installed?

 

I've Been Running A 2.9" Pulley Without A Front Mount For Almost A Year Now, And No Problems

 

im running a 2.8 with 60s and a tune
will that do some damage ifi dont get one?

 

i believe lsjwannabe is running a 2.5 without a h/e...

 

I haven't gone to the dyno yet, so I do not know. I manage Pro Care Collision in Flower Mound, TX and with the exception of the Stage II kit, I had the rest of the stuff installed by one of my techs.

 

are you stupid? your car has one, its an UPGRADE.

you think the ss/sc comes without a front mounted? LEWL

 

dude...u wanna help me out??? i will pay for the labor, no biggie, but i just need a good reliable place to take it for all the stuff as it comes in!

...im plannin on gm stg 2, a zzp header / dp w/cat, corsa touring, dual pass plate with secondary resivuar, stg 3 clutch, spec flywheel, a 2.8, and some misc guages! ...and i have a key scratch from some douchebag in my right rear quarter, i need to get that removed...

 

YOUR CAR HAS A FRONT MOUNTED HEAT EXCHANGER, ITS RIGHT INFRONT OF YOUR RAD.

the mod with the cobra heat exchanger is an UPGRADE.

 

do you NEED it?
no.

will it help? yes.

 

does anyone have the ca front mount heat exchanger? how much does it help compared to stockk?

 

just so you all know, when people do the H/E mod....you arent replacing the stocker with a different HE

your ADDING another H/E in series with the stock one.
the addition of all the extra cooling fins, as well as extra coolant, combines for a very effective cheap mod.

 

No harm but having it will help a lot with cooling i recomend devils own meth injection kit instead though help with cooling 50xs better

 

Any time you are spinning the Super faster than GM Does you should be thinking of upgrading the Cooling system. Will you notice with a butt dyno NO>>> But will you notice if you are racing 1 right after another or just driving around the car retains more Constant HP Yes! I have been on a dyno 2 differnt times for a total of 7 pulls done back to back at 87 degrees & The car never lost more than 3 hp to Heat soak! Actually my 3rd pull on the 1st Visit was my strongest!

 

you silly goose, you need to tune methanol...

 

Well i know that haveing meth will cool you much better though just giving my opinion

 

yes, drastically, but for it to run you need a hp tune!!!!

 

yeah but i am sure if he wanted to some one around him has hp tuners

 

It's not necessary to tune for the meth kit for it to run. If you use a small jet, you can just use it cooling principles/minor octane booster.

If you use a correct sized jet and tune for it by adding some more timing, more power can be had for sure.

To the OP, the dual pass mod would be perfect for your setup at the moment. Then the Devil's Own Meth kit after that, followed by the front mount HE.

 

Does someone have a link to explain what the heck a Water/Meth injection kit does, how it works? I know what a dual pass does, and how it works, same as a H/E, but how does the injection work?

 

I know that. I was simply asking if I needed the front mounted one right now, or if I could wait a little bit.
