The waters injected into the airflow before fuels added to the mixture :p

Lots of threads on the subject if you do a quick search !

Pip is very good and won\'t go too silly with the mapping.

The SMIC are the easier to fit but they still suffer from heat soak off the engine. Id say that most of the front mounts aren\'t too hard to fit just more time consuming, took me a long time ! Id almost say go for the dragon v-mount because they all involve removing all the plastic and rad and repositioning it all.

Give me a shout once you get the profec fitted i\'ll pm you some settings to get you started on the right track !

Make sure you get a decent FMIC with spaced out fins as your rad temps will go up if you are restricting the air to it. Not that i have one but thats what i hear .
a V-mount is the best as clean cold air goes to both... but much more expensive though.

Both are a very big job to do, the labour cost may be cheaper on a v-mount !

No need just go straight to Radtech they will supply the rads cheaper!  It was never Ross\' design so there is no need to feel guilty ;)

The rad is a great design though and would be a good investment if you ever deside to come back to this thread again saying now I want 500bhp :D

Whats always bothered me about that vmount is the pipes



Because those bends are not smooth curves, thats terrible for flow. I would always go for something with totally smooth curves - you\'ll loose less pressure that way...

Ta, Paul.

You still get some pretty heavy curves with the FMIC plus the pipes are longer too so the charge has to travel much greater distances.

I\'d love to see if the v-mount suffers more from heat soak off the radiator and engine though !
