fluidyne radiator
gordsford heat exchanger
LDC Chicago cooling mod (once off backorder :D)
liberty input shaft and associated clutch disc
billet flow diff brace
solid diff bushings
dss axles
diff cooler

eventually i intend to run the evans inlet/outlet stuff so i can break the oil cooler subsystem out from the engine cooling subsystem. i can then run a regular old fashioned oil to air oil cooler.

am i forgetting anything?

Poly motor mounts.
Larger expansion tanks for both intercooler and radiator
Aftermarket IC pump

And one of these

When we were in Michigan we talked to one of the aftermarket hood manufacturers and they are considering doing a stock appearing hood that is slightly raised in the center to allow for the the JP Fan and Postban Whipple hood mods.

You can read more about it here:

Being working on the dynamics of this prototype for sometime know.
After many long runs and reems of data to poor through.
The results are in.
Using iso 2005 calibrated temp. measuring devices the results are accurate to within +/- 1 degree
I've created a cooling blade which creates a tunnel of wind across the Eaton while expelling heat out of the hood vents at the same time.
The stock Eaton case gets very hot as we all know. Hot to the touch and retains heat for an extended period of time.


With this new dual purpose cooling device you will see case tempuratures drop to an amazing 60 degrees. Thats over 237% cooler than stock temps.
Thats like driving on a cool early spring day!
Dyno results have netted me 46hp and 62tq compared to the same pre dyno drive.
It also helped lower the heat in the rear cylinders by 27% over stock readings
Another benifit was the reduced duty cycle of the fuel pumps @ over 15%.

We've all seen the posts about how to cool your eaton.
From fans in the hood vents to ducts from the fog lights to the blower.
We all know these ideas just fell of the face of the Earth.
This is a proven cooling unit to help the Terminator guys out in a big way.

The other benifit to most people will be the increase in blower whine.

Edit- There are three pages of laughter and commentary after this post.

I think if we added a liquid Nitrogen cover to the blower and incorporated this fan we could get the temps down substantially. Nitrogen is stored at over 300 degrees BELOW 0. We hook up a trailer or carry all for the Nitrogen tank and get those blower temps down to -100* or -200*.
If only Doug would test TITS with the C02 spray option
