for some reason the search function is not working for me tonight. i was able to google it but since im on a military lan so its blocked. so i cached and it....well to make a long story short. did chuck prove that his vmounts were better than the the large asp intercoolers?

 

There was no test ever reported.

IMO, unless you use a larger SMIC and deem it not suitable for your needs (i.e. cooling and intake temps are still too high for 'your' application), then go with a V-Mount. If a good SMIC and conventional radiator mount keeps you cool, then why bother.

 

Does it even matter for a primarily street driven car?

 

i believe chuck was giving away 500 dollars to anybody who wanted to donate their fd to the \"experiment\" i guess he and the asp maker were bickering back and forth. also, wouldn\'t the vented hood ie;panspeed, re. kinda make the vmount like a front mount since the reverse induced air is hitting the core? \"kinda like\" meaning that it wouldnt be as heat soaked with the oem hood. im confused haha

 

yeah i was womdering what ever happen with that challenge

 

Not enough people were willing to do it I figured.

 

Because they had to actually pay for the cost of the V-mount. The $500 was only if it did not perform better than the ASP (or better than Kevin was bitchin') and to return it back to SMIC.
