I'd say heat exchanger and pump. It should be good enough unless you're going to go for max power ALL the time, then you will need the rear tank.

Just my 2 cents...Good luck with your decision!

Then you should go with a split cooling system. That 180 is going generate a lot of heat

Do you recommend a second H/E in series with the stock? There's room to mount this on many models and there are a large number of suppliers out there. Which dimensions fit nicely? Do you recommend flushing out the part before installing it?

Mbh shows a he that's 28 x16 x1. In that maybe u can keeP stock he also .maybe with bigger front resovior might be a great option with sPlit setup.rather then truck res.?
Also fan on mod all the time and thermostat change I don't know read so much I'm confused. It's 28 degrees in new York oo my my car is 40 horse faster at least.then when it's b50 degrees.it a beast even after a few runs to 90 mph. I want that even in 70 degree weather.
