    Here is the saleen installed! The custom tools make it easier, plus I had eric over and he really did most of it!

    Really can't tell a difference. Gauge stays right in the center, no fluctuation. I am running the dual troyer fans, they come on at a set temp. I know it is about a inch thicker and is a dual bypass.

    Best thing is the saleen radiator, and hose shipped was 244 and some change. A factory radiator is 300+!
