Spectre500 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Yesterday I got busy and installed the competition HE with the help of a friend on my 2014 Shelby. Here in Fla with ambient temp in the 90's the IAT2 temps @ cruise were 135 as read on my Aeroforce interceptor gauge. In traffic I've seen it climb to 145+. The stock unit is adequate while your moving but doesn't cool enough while your stopped. The competition unit cooled the temps on the average of 20 to 30 degrees and IMO is one of the best mods you can do to combat heat soak. Todays ambient was 83 and the IAT2 never climbed above 120, car was heat soaked and in traffic. At night ambient temps were around 55 and the IAT2 @ cruise was 93. This baby work's. There is some trimming involved with the plastic air directors that sit on the left and right side, other than that its a straight forward install.

Cobra 6 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Spectre, Looks awesome, definitely a mod I'm thinking of myself but probably won't pull the trigger until I get back to the states. Sidebar, are you in the FWB area?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra 6 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I do miss Florida! I was stationed at Eglin (2 years ago) before I PCS'd to Germany. Thought your background scenery looked familiar! LOL Beautiful Shelby, really liking the mod!!! If I ever find myself in your neck of the woods again (and I'm hoping I do), I'll shoot you a line. Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also live in Florida (Lakeland), and will be taking on this install with my 2008 at some point in the future. For anyone who is interested........Below are views of the regular (non-Competition Shelby/C&R H/E) and the larger Competition unit. There is quite a difference..............

Spectre500 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Thanks guys, The Competition Unit really moves some air.. I was really surprised at how quiet the 11 inch fans are on this unit compared to the original CR unit i had pref on my 2010. The 5.4 and 5.8 really benefit from the cooling where it matters most IAT2 temps in traffic or at the strip. ' Next up will be 1/78 ARH Longtubes to help the Trinity breath better. Stay tuned.

lsquared Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Great post. Nice pictures.. I love the SHELBY sig on the heat exchanger. Did you purchase the template or is it your own design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre500 Posted October 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Mine came that way from Shelby performance parts through the guys @ C&R racing, my wife surprised me with it for my birthday. You can get them from C&R racing not stenciled and or Shelby Parts with the stencil or Van Collier @ Revan Racing. Van may be your best bet as he does his best to give you the most bang for the buck... I highly recommend him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsquared Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 OK. I understand now. I thought the pics were of original exchanger and the after market but both are after market. I will contact the vendor to see if just the stencil is available. Thanks for the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre500 Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 You are correct Isquared... this install thread is of the original 2014 OEM H/E and modding to the the Competition unit. Robert was just showing the difference between the original version of the Shelby (C&R) HE and the newer Competition Unit. Hope this clears it up.

ViperNC Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I noticed a big difference when I did the heat exchanger on my car as well. My only regret is I did not do the radiator upgrade at the same time. Did you get the larger reservoir for the HE? That helps as well and is cheap/easy install.

Spectre500 Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I''l probably go with the aluminum tanks.. at least thats the plan for now... Unless Roush comes out with the larger tanks for the 13/14. With the 170 T stat the OEM coolant temps are running 176 and is doing a good job, but it would be nice to install the Shelby (C&R) rad a bit later. For now I'm working twords long tubes and some minor suspension upgrades and tire's. Should be doing a ARH long tube thread in the coming weeks.

Radical08 Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 I have the VMP dual fan unit in my 2010 and that is what I will install in my 2013 as well. It really cools it down. I also installed a switch to turn off the fans in the winter when they are not needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
