If these new additions are not going to gain me anything such as performance, longevity, etc. I may just forget about it. I eagerly await the publishing of youre research.
BOY WOODY, THAT WAS A MOUTH FULL .

Punkin this is a little off the subject of the I/C pump, but one reason I did not choose to get a larger heat exchanger is because they were thicker and I didn't think they could be much taller than the OEM. That being said you are not going to increase the surface area for air to flow through. I have never seen how close the larger heat exchanger's sit's to the A/C condencer, but I know the OEM sit's 1&1/4 inch away from it. I'm just guessing, but I believe it was designed that way so air can flow through it. If the larger/thicker heat exchanger is sitting pretty well against the A/C condencer that would prevent air from flowing through it. I agree with cruzinquick, I would think the larger heat exchanger would not help much in daily driving or drag racing. I moved my OEM heat exchanger forward enough to install a couple cooling fans to try to make it possable to control my I/C coolant temp's to make more consistant runs in drag racing. I also have a digital temp gauge with the sending unit mounted in the heat exchanger, AMGJerry rode with me down the track a couple times with a data logger plugged in and said my gauge was the same reading as the I/C coolant was on the data logger.
