Be Cool and Ron Davis make nice units.
Not cheap though. I like the Ron Davis I bought to replace the Be Cool, but both are nice. My 455 was having cooling issues.
Be Cool on the left, Davis on the right. Both fit it in the stock location, but you need to trim the fan shroud for the water pump pulley

I see the overflow port right at the filler neck......
Also...are those other holes for the Coolant Level sensor.....?

B- Coolant crossover return
C- Coolant level sensor

And thats cool it has the coolant level sensor port too.
But....today I had to get a radiator in there so I just put another LT1 radiator in for $90.00. I leave for the Middle East in two days and I had to have this done so my girlfriend can use my car while Im gone.
But for sure Im gonna get one of those later on....especially if I boost this thing like I want to do. Having to go to the Middle East has put a hold on my Twin Turbo plans.
Thanks for the pictures.....
BTW.....how is the ITB intake doing....?
What do you think it offers in RWHP increase over the best plastic ported intake...?
I remember being one of the first members on here like 8 years ago to consider the Harrop........

The lid is a cut up FTP 104mm feeding 2 4" tubes off the Y.
I have another I will be redoing to make it fit as supplied by FTP.
As for the Harrop, car has been 1/2 done for 4 years. The motor made 705 fwhp with 1 7/8" old headers. It has 2" Kooks now with merge collectors. May pick up a few hp. The Harrop flowed terrible. I spent a lot of time and money to pick up 45 cfm to get to 330 cfm. The throttle response is awesome though and improved the cars handling and has a 750 rpm idle at that power level and no cam lope.

Are the ITBs on the Katech/Pratt & Miller C5/6/7Rs a brand name the public can just go and buy (albeit for CRAZY coin), or are they 'one-off', bespoke intakes ONLY available to them and other race team customers??

Do the ITBs in any way help with the lean running, most rearward passenger side cylinder at all?
