finally made up my mind
all from zzp
3.0
60's
heat exchanger
and a custom tune

 

Why just a 3.0"?

 

cause the heat exchanger aint going in right away

 

I ran an OTTP stage 2 (2.8") most of the summer with no cooling mods. You're car isn't going to blow up. It will just heat soak faster. Go 2.8".

 

I ran my 2.8 without a HE for a couple weeks, it's cold up here in Canada right now as you know. Just don't do back to back to back etc pulls if your doing it haha.

If you use ZZP you might as well just get the oversized tensioner, their belt isn't a GM one apparantly.

I have a TVS with a 2.9" and just a h/e for cooling and I'm okay. Temps are a little scary in the summer after multiple runs though lol

 

zzp belt does suck and like i told you befor you can mob with a 2.8 and no h/e

 

A heat exchanger isn't going to bring you're IAT2's down. Maybe cruzing down the highway. Your temps just arent going to climb as fast and will recover much faster

 

k fine lol 2.8 60s heat exchanger lol

 

There ya go haha

 

what size cooler should i get though and with the heat exchanger do i need a dual by pass? what the point of the m

 

you dont need a dual pass to have a h/e...the dual pass just moves more water

 

kk so what size exchnger should i use then

 

s3 from zzp. i have the ottp one but it didnt buy it from ottp and i couldnt say no to the price and it was new.

 

No a dual pass designed for the coolant to spend less time in the intake manifold, thus keeping the coolant cooler. And you don't NEED a h/e and dual pass but it helps a lot if you are doing back to back pulls.

 

i got the money got one so i mid as well and the look good on the car lol

 

like i said moving the coolant faster

 

No you said it moves More water

 

holy hell dezzie, you change your mind more then i do, haha. I went 2.8/60 with no cooling mods for most of the summer. Like everyone said, the car wont blow up, but it will heat soak faster and you wont feel the full power until you get some cooling mods. H/e will help, but i suggest get more cooling mods later one in the summer. I say get meth, that is one of the best mods you can get.

 

This ^^^. Running meth/water mix will actually lower you're IAT2's and keep them there. My temps are 120-130 after a pull.

 

same thing pretty much. just i said water and not coolant

 

how well does the 4th gen h/e work?

 

that and it will allow for more timing. I was able to put my timing to 25* when i had the tvs and was only seeing 149* temps after 3 pulls back, to back to back.

 

im lowered and i tend to open up the drain valve while driving. i havent done any testing on it

 

soo prices add fast ya i do change my mind alot lol
