Re: Sluggish Acceleration
gfreak being in fl you will see some high iat's when pushing your car. cooling mods were the first things i did and these mods have proven to be worth the $. you can add meth to further cool but its not the route i choose
1. dj's supercooler. the biggest h/e made cost 350$
2. separate the cooling system from the i/c sytem. free and turns a high pressure i/c loop into a low pressure loop cost FREE!
3. run a 70/30 mix in the i/c coolant system. water cools faster than antifreeze
4. the following mods were done to compliment the others and keep the engine itself cooler as the h/e is HUGE!
5. 180 tstat cost $100
6. -10 * fan mod. cost $50 this mod turns the fan on 10* sooner than oem to work inconjunction with the 180 tstat
7. complete fluid flush and rinse. then refill with 50/50 mix of m/b coolant and distilled water cost 25$
8. remove the rubber strip at the rear of the hood to allow heat to escape. cost free! some remove the bottom pan as well but i kept mine as i noticed a lift in the front of my car in excess of 150mph
when all this was completed i realized a 80 to 90 * drop in iat's . my engine temps run 180 to 190* in 90* heat and my iat's run 100 to 105* of course theres a huge spike in iat's when the car is pushed hard, but almoat as soon as you release the throttle the temps start to decline
hope this helps
