Got me a new powerdyne 3 row heat exchanger made for the harley's and the L's. Its the aftermarket one that measures 8.5" x 25" x 3.25".....should help me a lot compared to my stock one that measures 7" x 23" x 1.25". Not sure if Im going to mount the stock one down low and mount the new one where the stock one is now, or just not use the stock one at all. What do you guys think? Would I see any real difference using both since the stock one is so thin anyway? Man that powerdyne is a thick sucker for sure, i will get some pics when it gets here.

Cool, that should help your IAT's some. I would just install the powerdyne one first and see where your at IAT wise then decide if adding the stocker as well would be worth it.

Also you need to make sure youre pump can handle it as it will have to work harder to move the antifreeze thru both heat exchangers.

Is there enough resistance through the exchanger to make a difference? I didnt know there was any resistance in the circuit, but if there is, i guess that would make sense.

Here are some shots of the heat exchanger. I should be doing the install this weekend. I sure hope there is enough room to fit this sucker in there, its gonna be close. Its quite a bit larger than the stock one and by the looks of it, it should provide a good bit of cooling.

when I ran dual, dual pass H\E'rs (probably equal surface area to your new piece) I saw a 3-4 deg drop in IAT's at the track

Damn I would have thought you would see a bigger difference then that.

I was thinking the same thing, but i will take what I can get. I have yet to have this intercooler show temps more than 125 degrees even in warm ambient temps. It will creep up to 110 or so at a red light after a few minutes if ambient temps are in the 80's or above. I posted a log of my last track run in the tuning section(last weekend) and you could see the IATs actually dropped a couple of degrees by the end of the 1/4. I brought some ice to try out my new oversized reservoir but with 89* IATs, i just didnt need it. Just trying to get as much cooling effect as I can and I figured this big thing sure couldnt hurt any. Im diggin your new PIC grippy!

I did notice a pretty big difference when I changed out my 50/50 mix of water antifreeze and went with straight water. I keep her in a climate controlled garage, so the antifreeze really wasnt needed.
