The new coolers perform a lot better than the two previous coolers.We are racing them on two cars combined with the fluidyne top end cooler. They are great. We do not run any fans, price is $239.00 and the top cooler is $70.00
We do nut run the scoops or the scoop mounts for the exact reasons stated. I saw coolers, fittings and line taken out by the scoops.
