What the system needs to work better is more cooling power at the manifold. Even a huge H/E doesn't do much for actual temps, the stock one works fine if your A/C is off. A dual-pass will do more for your IAT2's than any H/E setup.

if all else this will give him more coolant and more time for the coolant to cool down on its own

More capacity will always slow the rise of temps, and as I said since it will be in front of the condenser pack it will get slightly better airflow, although this will be offset by it blocking the original H/E itself.

I'd rather see a big tank plumbed in for the same results.

One of the way the exchanger helps is by increasing capacity,since that don't have have end tanks ,id be worried about that and flow rate/restriction.

even more great advice

that tranny cooler isent going to increase the capacity enough to do jack end tanks or not you can put a front mount even a griffen will do more then anyother he out there but the problem lies in the manifold it was designed to support up to 250 hp there is what needs addressed

alot of you no it alls need to listen when the originators speak up

I also would not run a fan on the front of the h/e, it will restrict the airflow at higher speeds, a puller fan would probably work too though, id be afraid it wouldnt allow the condenser/he/radiator get enough flow.

Yeah definately don't add another fan, the airflow once you reach about 20mph is better than any fan, especially if it's hanging out right up front.
