I went with the head cooling mod I have because I didn't have to remove the trans or supercharger.

I wanna go with the one that requires removing the transmission. Might do it when I replace my clutch.

I have the PFab HE tank & I'll be putting on the PFab radiator expansion tank on in the next few weeks...see pics

HE tank holds a lot more fluid + you can add ice at the track!

+1 i think ima get the one with no tranny/charger removal. i dont have the patience for that for a 150 dollar mod, even if it is important

it still does the same KingKobra, the ones that require removing of the tranny/blower are said to work better.

yep. since it goes into the plug at the rear of the head it is in the direct flow of the coolant allowing it to escape more efficiently where the other comes out on the side of the head but they both get the job done and the 2nd style is a lot easier to instal because you dont need to remove the trans.

Head Cooling mod : as they've already stated... It gives a passage from the 7 and 8 head out of there... What happens is that since there is no way for the coolant to escape it sits and basically boils in those chambers.. causing things to break basically..

Radiator: Holds more coolant then your stock one -- should be self explanatory

Heat Exchanger expansion tank: Again should be self explanatory; holds more fluid for your heat exchanger... Looks nicer if you like that look also...

With the exception of the head cooling mod (which is somewhat self explanatory) those other two are very self explanatory.

I would also suggest a thermostat and the Dual pass heat exchanger, if you don't have one already while you're doing the cooling mods....

And all of these mods (even the radiator) is meant for anyone with a Terminator, especially the ones that have pullied or modified their cars, and run them the way they're suppose to be.

Are there really any good after market ones? I heard that all the after market ones suck and you should just make holes in your stock one (I think).

Mustang -- I never heard of making holes in your stock one.. but Horsepower by Hermann did it for me while my car was getting tuned just as a side bar mod... so im not sure what brand or model he would've used..
