larger intercooler and bigger pump for maggie

[hflores3]

Are there before/after tests of IATs?

I climb to 140-145 in the Texas heat and basically settle there, but it recovers to normal in 30ish seconds of coasting...

I'm with him -- I live in Friendswood -- which is a "rock's throw" away from Pearland, Texas (just outside of Houston). The temps down here have been "crazy hot" and we need whatever coaching / guidance we can get to run these cars cooler.

Would I be "too nosy" if I were to ask for the part numbers you deployed? You are getting "superb" performance - thus you have executed your research/homework - well. Thus my humble request.

there's a bunch on ebay, just search aluminum icebox and you will see a bunch of different ones and sizes pop up . I have a 5 gallon but they have smaller and some that are longer , they all fit in the the spare wire well tho

Thanks for the lead! Found a few (Rhodes Race Cars) and others. They come with a "Rule 2000" pump already in the tank. About $330.

a) Is that all you need is 1 "in tank" pump?
b) Do you need a pump for the return line?
c) Sorry for the "dopey ass questions" but I'm learning
d) what size hose did you use?

Yes that's all you need most intercooler come with 3/4 hose so you would need a 1" to 3/4 hose adapter unless you can find someone to weld in 1 inch connectors on your intercooler which would be even better. One rule pump in tank pumps way more than enough , no you do not need a return pump

Rule pumps belong in the bilge of a boat and that is about it. The heat, +5psi head pressure, 100% duty cycle just kills these pumps.

Varimax pump FTW! If you can find one

[Darkmanx]

Mines working and flowing perfect

The EMP WP29 pump would be my choice with a trunk mounted ice box, it's also 1" in/out and about the best flowing pump you can buy. Does draw a descent amt of amps though, and needs to be 1" gravity fed but shouldn't be a prob w/large tank...

Unfortunately, I think you are right.

I went over to the CTS-V Owners site and - sure enough - there is evidence of a very high failure rate with Rule pumps in daily driven vehicles.

It's the 100% duty cycle that appears to be a common denominator.

....simply sharing what was out there.

working great , on my dyno pull with ice in my icebox in trunk i started the pull iat was 66 degrees and climbed to 100 by the end of the run . Car made 760whp/700 tq running out of fuel . Im in fl and its rainy season so once the time cools down ill do a couple of highway pulls and see how it does

Forgot to mention -- outstanding numbers!!! Shoot - 760 at the wheels? .... jeez man - that is a serious street machine!! Congrats!!
