I know this isnt your question but i think americanmuscle sells a cheaper setup that is suppose to produce similar results. Just hard to believe that there could be that much difference between one and the other for the price.

is th americanmuscle.com? thanks thats actually a good tip. I'm a college student and anywhere i can cut corners and still get the results i want/need is greatly appreciated. trying to get my car to the 500hp level asap without spending to much. Probably do the JLT cold air and an acufab TB n Spacer. Easy bolts on that, unless im wrong should put me damn close to that 500 hp number. lol only 32 hp left b4 i hit that number haha

i had the fuidyne in my car up until the turbo swap. it seemed to help a little bit with hot lapping at the track mostly. pretty easy to install. i don't know about 25% cooler though.

Are you asking about a fluidyne heat exchanger or fluidyne radiator?

I assumed he meant heat exchanger since he commented about the blower speciffically running cooler.

I got a visteon radiator and it works great. I kept overheating on freeway whenever racingfrom my gears and now whenever I drive on freeway it lowers temp significantly. I would go as far as saying 25%+

Ya that was what I figured also, but there was a similar post on another forum and the person was asking about the radiator. I just wanted to make sure.

My Extreme came with a Fluidyne radiator. My temps run a little bit warmer than my Cobra did. I just assumed that was due to the Cobra's all aluminum block and theWhippleon the Extreme, rather than radiator effectiveness/quality. To be honest, I don't know who makes the H/E's for Saleen though.
