after following all of woody's threads on this issue it is crystal clear that the oem h/e is to small and coupled with an inferior pump will cook the s/c in all but the coolest of climates.
while the supercooler mod may not be the first step in fixing this issue it should be considered a first mod and some of the best $ spent

juts my .02 and experience
well i will admit that during 1/4 mile runs and hot lapping it you could see significant issues of heat soak due to the small H/E...but most people don't track their cars. For a car that is rarely tracked if tracked at all...no need to swap H/E's.... I too do 140+ mph runs (in Mexico) and have no heat issues.
