I'll be swapping my H/E out again and reinstalling the supercooler to see how it works in conjunction with the baked potato mod.

Les , In case you didn't know.... and for what it's worth....

I also wired my HE Pump to run full time when the key is in the "ON" position. (park and not moving)

While your engine may no longer be "Boosting" and thus - your HE Pump no longer "Flowing"... this simple mods keeps the fluid running thru the HE and cooling down the intercooler, whatever the RPM or torque may be..

Makes for a speedier recovery....

Give it a try and measure your results....
