yeah i am, kinda hahah.
I actually like it a lot better than cobaltss.net
You guys actually help out and give better advice on what to do and actually dont bash on some of the stuff that people do. This site is really chill!

yeah we are laid back... way back haha some of us do get a little bashy at times though.. i think everyone has an "off" day though

 

[07cobaltsssc]

yes everyone does have "off" days, but yeah a very chill site! but you gotta have some fun as well.

coolant temp should not be effected by your heat exchanger, it's a completely seperate cooling system. your intake air temperatures and your heat exhanger coolant temps will be effected. in the long run, your engine will run slightly cooler, but thats not the point of the heat exchanger. more fins to soak more heat will make your intercooler temp lower making the laminovas cooler leading to more heat soaked from the intake air. cooler iat's = denser cooler air meaning more power! if you mess with this stuff, it's a good idea to invest in the aeroforce interceptor so you can actually see your intake air temperatures from 2 factory sensors.

175 is hot? i wouldn't know that though... i'm a turboed guy. i see running temps from 194-205 but then again i think i remember reading somewhere lnf runs hotter then the lsj.

 

[ff_drift_lol]

that's coolant temps, not intake air temps. coolant temps are around 190 on the lnf. 180 on the lsj. idling for a bit or hard driving on a hot day youll see 200-205. any more than that is sorta bad. aluminum heads are known to warp around 250f

 

[07cobaltsssc]

uh, yeah i am not certain on what i should be running at all. Im just guessing that i am running at a good temp cuz when i was running with 42lbs injectors, cai, and gm tune last summer i would run around like mabye 180-185 or maybe a little hotter. Cant recall.
