I have the LFP with a "Super Tank" resevoir. Works great.

AFCO makes a good double pass heat exchanger also. They are all probably about the same, they all do the job & are a simple install.

I haven't exactly checked this out but have been thinking about a heat exchanger since my drive to Palm Springs last summer. Does the heat exchanger "replace" the radiator or air/water intercooler? How simple is this? :spinem:

I have installed the Afco Pro Series double pass available from RPM Outlet on my 03 Coupe. I use it for open highway rallies and open track events. It really knocks down the air charge temps. I live in the desert in Las Vegas.
My 03 has about 13# boost, a K & N FIPK (cold air) and am running the Diablo Predator 91 octane tune. The heat exhanger replaces the air/water intercooler supercharger radiator that is in front and down low in bottom front bumper opening. It took me about 2 hours total to install - from tool setup to tools back in the tool box.

Upgrading your heat exchanger is never a bad idea, but is definitely needed if you do a pulley swap on the Eaton or go with an aftermarket supercharger running high boost. I just installed an AFCO Pro Series on mine. It was an easy bolt up install with no modifications needed with easy to follow directions & pics. The only thing I had to do was cut some length off one of the hoses it came with, because I have a JLT True CAI & it was rubbing up against my air filter. Other than that, nothing to it. I got mine through rpm outlet also.

AFCO, www.rpmoutlet.com. Very easy to install, with a lift it took less than 30 minutes. Drain and flush the coolant in the inner-cooler system and replace it with either Motorcraft Specialty Orange or Motorcraft Premium Gold. Make sure it is a 50/50 mixture of coolant and distilled water only (not tap water). The best I can remember it's about 16oz each, it may be a little more just keep it in equal measurments.

I have the LFP with their Super-Tank. When I re-filled the system, I also added a bottle of Purple Ice to the mix.

So do you have to replace the superchager tank when you do the heat exchanger or does it really even change anything????
