What was the 1st cooling upgrade you doing to your car and how muched it helped. I have a 10 rib maggie tvs2300 with od cog and 3.1 sc pulley and 6% ati od balancer, i already have a 1 gallon tank under the hood plus the stock maggie lil reservoir, trying to see what cooling upgrade to do first, im thinking either a 5 to 7 gallon tank in the trunk for extra coolant and just a 1 big fan and or 2 small fans on stock hc, or dual heat exchanger with fans.

ZL1 Pump or Varimax pump?

That would be my #1 if I had the smaller Bosch.

When I was running my LSA I ran straight Engine ICE in it. Was a massive improvement over basic coolant.

Its my daily driver im sure ice will melt after a couple of light to lights on a over driven maggie at 18.5 psi

I’ve done a lot on mine. First change is to upgrade to the varimax pump. Myself, I’m running 2 in series.

I have 3 hxs running in parallel — a Ron Davis and 2 in the lower front grill. Then, I installed a roush reservoir.

I also run 100% distilled and just enough water wetter to keep the pumps from cavitating....

Helps a lot with cooling...

I've always had good luck with a bottle of water wetter and distilled water. Would bring my iats down significantly

hou30guy · 02-01-2018, 03:39 AM

Ill drain the coolant and try the destill water and water wetter, but my main focus is battling heat soak due to traffic and light to light runs often
