bdiddle Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Nobody in their right mind would by that for $399 when for $750 they could call Revan Racing and get a MUCH MUCH better unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Correct. If you're going to do the work you might as well get the better aftermarket unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vapor08GT500 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I have a take off 2011 heat exchanger that I will sell for $225 if anyone is interested. has less than 50 miles on it. It is an upgrade for 07-10 GT500's and can be adapted for custom applications such as Saleen, Roush, etc... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rarecat Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 According to the Ford Racing Tech Line, the 2011 Heat Exhanger is a 20% improvement over the 07-09 unit.....FWIW Alex, PM sent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby_GT500_09 Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I dont know about you guys but i never thought i'd be using a new heat exchanger, 1st dont race after a long ride, dont race up and down the road all day, and always let the car cool down and one race one shot and park the car pop up the hood. . . My head heats up more than the engine from gettin excited for the race lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingrider Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 +1 on the Revan/Shelby/C&R Heat exchanger- Esp on the 2011 cars. The 2011 exchanger is larger, but with that aluminum block more cooling in all areas is always better. There's something impressive about being able to stick your finger in the fluid of the heat changer tank after a run on the freeway and feel that it's colder than ambient. Van's the man. -Wingrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarecat Posted August 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2011 I appreciate the input from everyone, thanks, Rather than buying the new FRPP unit, I bought a take off 2011 unit from Alex and installed it yesterday. The stock 08 unit is 1 1/4" wide, the 2011 unit is 2" wide, it is a easy swap and having the extra cooling will help with the FRPP TVS I'm bolting in next weekend. While a Reven unit would have provided better performance, I don't race so heat soak is not a big issue for me. This is a cost effective little upgrade to keep my TVS happy....

I would like to do the same for mine, sounds like a cost effective solution for guys that don't race thier cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revan Racing Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Guys You do not have to race your car to get heat soak. This topic has been discussed and repeated extensively. Daily driver street cars get heat soaked just as easily as cars that don't race. 90% of the cars running my heat exchanger are street cars because street cars get heat soaked. It's not a question of "if" its just a matter of "time" before they heat soak. Van www.revanracing.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
