Kind of miss the cool air charge temps

I miss seeing 40's and 50's on my gauge in the fall and winter but warm weather is here I detailed my clean car today for the hell of it after I drove it and after seeing 100's and 90's on the gauge maybe a killer chiller is in order just for cruising to lower it since I do not beat on in in the summer.

Yep a KC is the way to go for summer months. Craig and the BIP boys have my car for the next few days and I think plan on taking some vids of the cooling ability.

You got rid of your HE right? So it's just the oem intercooler (under sc) and KC?

I have had my KC for 2 years now and have always had it bypass the HE. Added a trunk tank last November I think, to help aid in recovery in summer months. For street and daily driving the KC works just great and the meth controls the top end for me.

We put the heat exchanger back in the loop when we added the trunk tank
