 More/Better cooling on modified motors
What are some of the things, if any, that you have done to increase/improve cooling on your modded motors? Is there a need to do anything, will it help the engine?

 Re: More/Better cooling on modified motors
Thanks DB8, but I was looking for something a little more cost effective.

 Re: More/Better cooling on modified motors
Biggest issue with the screen is flying apart.

 Re: More/Better cooling on modified motors
[quote="saveontaxes"] I did the same, left stock cooler, added a hayden, works great. I was wondering about removing the screen. I read somewhere it really slows down airflow. Any more thoughts on this?[/quote] I tell you what take a ride in your vehicle get it up to 100 mph stick your head out window stick a widow screen in front your face then remove it and see if theres a difference, then do the same thing with a piece of ply wood and get back with me!
