Yep, I plan on the Paxton. I like the air-to-air design better than the Vortech air-to-water, plus personnally I think the Paxton looks cleaner- I don't like that big Vortech box sitting in the engine compartment.

LOL no offense meant........
viking396, just FYI- I have confirmed that the Paxton 'cooler will bolt right up to the Vortech head unit if you decide to go that route.

RE: Car goes in tomorrow - FINALLY!!!
Just got off the phone with the installer, they will be done today and ready for the dyno tune tomorrow. I should have the car tomorrow night meaning I'm driving home on 4/10 in the Spring in SNOW!!! WTF?!?!?
My car doesn't do snow, in 10 years I wanted to be able to say "my car has never driven in snow".. sh*t fire and save the matches! My wife is laughing at me as I post this, cold hearted bi.... oh wait, she's reading as I type, hello dog house.

I'm heading over there tomorrow to pick it up so I'll post pics and dyno numbers then. I found out he isn't changing plugs so we'll see how that turns out. I hope I can beat the snow so I can see how it feels, I doubt I'll sleep much and I have a damn doctors appt and dentist appt tomorrow so it's going to be a busy day!

RE: Car goes in tomorrow - FINALLY!!!
I'm not installing gagues yet because I haven't decided on where to put them, I don't want them on the pillar and not on the center of the dash so I'm going to talk to the mechanic and get some ideas because I want to be able to monitor boost, oil pressure and fuel pressure.
