The Head Cooling Mod is to help the driver side cooling passages, specifically cylinders 7-8. Those are prone to failure as their is no efficient cooling passage for them. This becomes even more of a problem with those are like to do highway runs.

The Heat Exchanger is to help IAT temps. This helps cool your intercooler and lower your discharge temps. This will help against heat soak from your supercharger.

If you plan on doing a clutch install do the Head Cooling, as that is the only way to install it really. If not do the Heat Exchanger, either way I suggest both sooner or later.

BTW-We stock both mods, are the exclusive dealers for the original head cooling mod.

Definatly do the head cooling mod if you can. there is also one that you can get that doesn't require pulling the tranny but it's up to you which one you get. they are both good kits.

kinda hard to see from the top, its on the back of the cylinder heads normally.

as for witch to do, i would do both. but the head cooling mod i would save for when you need a clutch or something that requires the transmission to be out.

That is the one I was talking about. they have a new kit out that doesn't require blower removal.
