Yes, we run the big boy Stewart EMP that we reprogram on the big setups; however, you have to convert all of the lines over to 1" to really take advantage of this. We offer AN fitting options on the HX as well to accommodate this. Lastly, we have the LT4 cooling manifold adapters to go to AN lines and this also really improved the flow since each side gets an independent feed and not sharing the same coolant crossover manifold.

Wow awesome! What about pusher fans in front of the HE to supplement the factory pullers behind the radiator?

What if you are running a Whipple? What all comes with the kit?

I have them on the side of my ATS V's triple HX kit with a thermostat controlled fan; however, we always take into account keeping the radiator fans active with the system because they move much more CFM than any fans you could locate on the front due to the crash bar and internal baffling, but I like where your head is at!

Yes the Whipple stands to gain the most! It has increased air flow and needs more fluid as well. You can buy just the coolers or the entire HX system with 6 gallon trunk tank and pump kit as well!

I bought them. I wondered about the AN connections to the Whipple? Let me know if I need to get anything different? I bought the valve covers too. They were on sale.

Standard kit comes with the OEM size hose barb fittings like the Whipple ports, so you’ll be good as is unless you’ve cut and welded AN fittings on the Whipple ports.

Whipple Just sent us the cooling manifold CAD file. We’re in the process of making them for our builds but also a C7 Z06 customer in Puerto Rico has that crazy $9K TIKT twin hx system and we’re doinf anothe C7 Whipple build on his with our port injection kit and we’ll have to have them for that.

Hey I just checked the links you posted above and noticed that AN fittings are now an option.. That didn't show up when I placed my order - whats up with that?

Sorry just saw this, we're always doing website updates and that was a reminder to add those to all of the HX options. We can certainly change to AN fittings if you want just hit me up. AN fittings aren't really necessary unless you're changing all over to braided lines and/or going to larger lines with the big boy Stewart pump. Trust me, even in the OEM line/pump configuration, the supercharger gets much better coolant temps.

I apologize for the bump but I can't find many people with these. What do you think about the heat exchangers? Worth the $?

Depending on who you talk to, they're worth it or they're not. I think the problem is the expectation of what the heat exchangers can do. If you're expecting drastic drops in intake air temps, its just not going to happen. A chiller is far more effective. That being said, I think aftermarket heat exchangers if designed properly can provide SOME benefit, slightly improved cooling and more consistency in intake air temps.
