Not trying to thread jack but while everyone is on the cooling subject, Does anyone know how easy it is to install a dual pass on a cx racing h/e? been thinking about the option b + dual pass but now you guys are talking about these problems/cores being flipped has me confused/nervous lol

Its not a difficult task but done right it takes time and care.
remove s/c and IM. swap the two lower cores end for end, taking care not to crush the soft ends of the cores and not leave behind the o rings and washers.
reinstall and carry on with option B. All explained in this thread and on the GM CED pdf document.

I usually run around 15*F over IAT1 on avg. now.
Yeah but i just wanted to ensure that its always as cold as possible. I see no harm in ensuring that the system has no air in it.
And beside last night (before the install) i raced five different cars almost in a row!
A 02 camaro twice, a g35, a 6.0 gto twice, a ws6 and a genesis. Only car that beat me good was the ws6; everyone else i either barely beat or was hangin on their rear bumper. Not a bad night

ok i see so then the air bleeder will be connected to the stock H\E correct. Sorry for thread jacking Riceburner really appreciate the help Powell.
Y piecethen i use a chisel to open up the slot in the tie bar just to the left ( passenger side) of the air bag sensor, across from the dipstick. You can then feed the mainhose for the reservoir through there and it is protected by the tie bar from the supercharger.

the bleed line goes over the top of the rad tie bar on the cobalt they way i do it.
