Mine runs 30~35* above ambient all year round. Not sure if the CTS-V cooler will help with this. I agree that it will help bring temps down quicker but I haven't read that it will measurably lower running/cruising iat's for daily driving. I have read that the higher temp readings(above ambient) may be due to the placement of the iat sensor on the MP112.

I use the CTS-V heat exchanger 28"x14" IIRC. Buy from one of our sponsors. Methanol and nitrous help slightly

Killer chiller?

Seen them, I think Supersub (?) had one custom made. Hmm, with the 112 I was seeing 30* over ambient but with the IAT in the intake runner with the TVS mine are only 8* out of boost. Wonder why you guys are seeing much higher?

8* isn't bad at all.

Wow, that's stellar. 30* not so good.

OP, IIRC, I was told by a custom radiator shop to bring my coolant temps down, a thicker rad. w/. more cores would help. Someone on here told me goin to the 34" rad from the stock would have little/ to no affect.\
So would a custom rad w/. more cores work, you decide? I know it'd cost $550 or so to find out & they're works of art. All TIG'd, & custom touches if needbe, for more $ of course.
