Interchiller on M157

Anyone here running an interchiller, killer chiller or active chiller on a M157? (essentially all the same just different brands)

Our cars heat soak a lot and we can see performance suffering after a few pulls.
I’m considering adding one and deleting the stock heat exchanger, anyone have done anything similar?

I know it’s a common upgrade on the M113K, but not sure why I don’t see it here much in the M157.

any help is greatly appreciated

Yes, I also upgraded to a larger heat exchanger that holds 4.6 liters vs the stock crappy 500ml. It works MUCH better, however after few pulls you can see the temp rising up.

Never heard of anybody doing it on a m157 but on my previous car CTS-V I've seen a couple people do it and they always switched back to a heat exchanger and ice tank setup.

Most complained that it put too much stress on the AC system and you've gotta buy the diverter system unless you want the AC on all the time.

Were they using Interchiller or Killerchiller? Same concept just a different brand.
I read many bad reviews about KC, but I havent found one issue/complain about FI interchiller.
As for my AC it's always on as I never have my windows down

They were 100% using the interchiller.

There's a youtube video and the guy had it on his GT500 and his IATs were through the roof after a few highway runs but he's also heavily modified 800+whp
