Default Larger Cooler for my maggie, suggestions?

My IAT's are too high and I need a larger liquid heat exchanger for my 5.3l avalanche magnacharged. Any suggestions? Preferably hook ups on the same side, the driver side. Thanks

you should look into a larger or even an additional heat exchanger. what are you using for coolant in your intercooler system? i know a guy who will make you a custom tank that will mount to the aux battery tray.

I would like a larger one. The aux battery tray is taken up. Any suggestions for a larger cooler? I have regular antifreeze and some water wetter in there. Anything better?

i use one bottle of water wetter, DI water and 10% dexcool. 3 gallon tank and a large heat exchanger. the heat exchanger size is in my opinion the most important.

pm me for an email address of the tank guy. he can make anything you want.

One of the 24x12x1 or even a 26x7x2 if the space is limited from Frozen Boost for around 150 bucks doesn’t seem too bad. I can’t speak to the quality of one of their units, but they look as if they may be decent. I think I recall a member using one from them.

Can you PM me the info. I'd like to get a tank that fits on the original battery tray and relocate my battery to rear.

Looking for more of a permanant solution. Chiller Killer sounded good but price and running ac all the time didnt. So I'm gonna put the biggest cooler probably the one with the 3.5 depth on and some coated obx long tubes and get the touch up tune and call it good. VA Speed did pretty good on this tune. Couple more mods and I should be good. Thanks guys
