Is a griffen worth the money for me to even worry about it?

Out of any of the cooling mods, a Griffin heat exchanger is probably the best.

well, I have the griffin. I wish I would have had my interceptor hooked up before so I could tell you the difference. but it was used in the time attack(correct me if Im wrong) so its probably your best options. but over the FMHE, not sure how much of an improvement.

yes.

no doubt.

if you can find one.

its old news, but a properly built single pass, griffin and option B has proven to produce the best aftercooling results.

No, ZZP had a used Griffin.

I almost bought it on Black Friday. I went with cams instead.

I know we tried them extensively. dual pass is better than the zzp single pass. Proven with extensive data logs, two cars, comparing constantly, Distillion and Alexx, then the same car back to back Alexx got mad as Distillion was consistently cooler iat2, so Alexx said take the zzp single pass off, got to dual pass and "whammo" identical iat2 to Distillion.

Both these cars are now sold, Distillion drives a ram truck and Alexx got a 3251. I think Alexx made the best deal. lol



I have run dual pass this past summer, took my single pass off. Its not as good as my single pass.

But I dont care . I wont make any more its not worth the time and effort, let alone the money, and then listen to some half baked internet wisdom saying its no good.

I did make one wrong, got the seals screwed up, got it returned and refunded all the customers money.

end rant.

ya i have a shrinking supply of hoses they cost like 70 dollars for each one of the moulded OEM stuff its retarded. I save everything.
i have no griffins. I did a purchase, sold all and dont intend to do it again anytime soon. Its just too much to put out 4000 for 10 then pay shipping and try to make 15% on them? not worth it. can only buy ten at a time, Griffin are great, their warranty is first class the product the best, but not worth the aggro. If I break mine I be screwed lol. Its like 7 years old!

sorry.
