Thats the idea I had generally. Id design it a little different for my LT1 car but thats def the idea.

What size cores did you use? What kinda power can they handle? Most importantly, do you have any IAT data?

the core was a 6.00" x 25.00" x 3.50". they say it is good for 900 hp.

Looking at one of my logs for the IAT's it looks like idling stays around 100 (with the fans running) and throughout the log it climbs to 120 for about 1 second and starts going back down to around 112. for a 1/4 pass and this was in September.

Actually thats not bad at all...
Next question is, how much money did it cost to set up the cooler, no plumbing?

For me its either going to be a setup similar to this, or Im just gonna keep the Procharger twins and spray meth.
Nice setup btw...
