Best pic I had, maybe Chris has a better one.

There was a similiar post on cz28.com about IAT's, which is basically what this thread boils down to (kinda like A2W coolers) Just kidding guys
Anyway there is a guy w/ a TT LT1 said his IAT's went up 20* w/ a fmic. He recently made 1000rwhp
Just thought I'd give my input, back to reading and learning.

That is a SMMMAAALLLL A2W cooler. Wow. Maybe I'm not seeing how deep it is, but comparing that to an air2air...I'd switch like Z8's did. Wow.

Also, when you say that "Griffin helped R&D it", does that mean they consulted with you about the flow numbers, pressure drop and efficiency of various cores? Or did you personally design it yourself and they approved?

A few questions from one fabricator to another:

1. What is the efficiency and pressure drop specifics of your PSJ/Griffin FMIC.

2. Also, what is your fin count per inch?

3. Is this a all new design core specifically made for you and your car, or is this a shelved radiator core?

4. What stage of R&D development is your car now in?

5. Lastly, have you yet to figure out exactly how to lock your converter/turbo 400???

THANKS!
Love him or hate him, you do have to admit he spiced things up around here.
