Message	enter process cost. HOWEVER, without proper endtanks and length over width considerations, an improperly designed bar and plate could be less efficient than a properly designed tube and fin. Keep in min drag racers only need cooling for ~8, 10, whatever seconds, while we Z'ers that track our cars need cooling for 20 minute (typically) sessions... Same argument holds for liquid-cooled systems.. good for short, but not for long... just more FYI... Aren't the stillen units bar/plate and HKS tube/fin? Or is it the other way around??? *forget* SS ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
