do the gains offset the weight of the coolant, tank and lines?

I think it's a cop car...

Unless you're running ice coolant thru there, you prolly won't see much... 5hp??

I am going with the cop car theory as well. Grill lights, rear strobe and top light. I wonder if the cops were spraying it.

For $200 you could've gotten pulley ...9 real hp at the wheels.


Sorry to say that heat soak... especially what that cooler is hoping to combat is a non-issue. You've wasted your money. You threw a handfull of $20 bills out of your window while driving... plus you've added weight and clutter to your car.

the total cost of this experiment was only 32 bucks and a little effort.
