^^ Much better option....

There is no way that the fans are needed once the car is moving and there is no way they could yield IATs of the KC.

Those fans benefit big time when you are waiting in staging lanes, that is their primary draw.

addition of ice in the rear tank is used to chill the ic system before a race for the people who dont have a KC.

Have this on my cobra. Let's just say I wished I could get my money back or if someone wants it, I'll sell it to you. As many have said, you can't push enough air and the KC is 100x more effective. Let's remember that on the highway you get to 10-15 above ambient. How much air do you think this is going to move in comparison to that...

Bingo....Fans would be great if you were tucking the cooler in a spot that did not get great air flow (e.g. in a fender), but for the front of the car, it is silly IMHO.

haters crazy
I modified one those minus the fans for my clk years ago before people made heat exchangers for benzes Lol. I cut the inlet and outlet off and welded shut. Then bead rolled a 1" pipe and made my own inlet and outlet on the side and ran 1" lines.

How much is the KC, seems like it would be more effective using the AC system to cool than a couple of fans on the HE?

I forget exactly what I paid but around $600 I think. So then less than the cost of a larger HE and extra tank trunk or under hood, which I have bypass my larger HE for now. And performs better so I have seen from reading.

I don't track my car so the AC dripping is not a concern of mine. Running a 180 pulley having IATs around 65* while cruising at 60mph when its 95* or more out is great. !!! When its been cooler out in April I got IAT down to about 50*. Theory is 1whp for every degree I think is what I read?!?!

I have never heat soaked since having it done and on WOT trips to 120 or so the IATs top out around 125* for just a second. That was with temps again around 95*. Recovery takes about 30-45 seconds, and drops like a rock. Will see how it likes the 195 pulley in about a week!!!
