ATI kind of shot themselves in the foot with poor braket design and blower seal problems when they were starting out and it has haunted them ever since. As far as windsor motors go, I think there are many other aspects of the combo more important than what brand blower you go with. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>VortechSaleen</b> <br /><small>Member # 316</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,8,6,0,9,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Yes..actually, it's a bad rumor. Even if the water is hot the heat transfer is still VERY effective....nobody says the water has to be cold..that's just a bonus. I'm at 442RWHP 420RWTQ w/ the Vortech/cooler setup (no ice). And if I feel like throwing ice in there...even better. This cooler gets a bad wrap from the guys who "must" have cold all the time and don't realize the cooler is doing it's job just fine. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>jayl</b> <br /><small>Member # 185</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,8,6,0,21,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> no bad rap or i heard a rumor or anything, i respect both companies, i just favor the air-air more.....no biggie.......i think the vortechs make insane power as well.....and i love how cheap a YS trim kit is......something rory shouldve done in the first place.....but it takes him a while to things threw his thick ass head.....lol <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Mr Paint Job</b> <br /><small>Member # 1708</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,8,6,17,29,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> i hate the vortechs because they're SOOOO loud, it gets annoying. Paxton's Novi line is the one I'm a big fan of... however I wouldnt mind having a D3R.<br /><br />As far as the intercoolers go, I'd say air to water all the way. But MY question is, how much better does the mondo cooler work than the after cooler???? and does it just bolt to the lower intake or do you need a custom one? <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
