Finally got around to installing the shelby competition heat exchanger, Ran into a couple issues as stock mounting location for pump 2011 is smack dead center of grill opening when finished all you see is the pump , so I opted to relocate the pump to drivers side used a piece of angle aluminum,
contemplated eliminating the spal fans per dept of boost science but eventually decided to keep them since I paid alot extra for them.
one thing i am thinking of doing is placing a switch in cab to be able to turn them off , since they would hinder airflow above a certain speed I am guessing they will run continuously all the time?
Found the best tool for any cooling system job

by far the easiest method tests the system for leaks prior to filling and fills in seconds with no airlocks guaranteed, there are youtube vids on it in action so simple yet so effective, i had airlock when i first filled the system and had to pull hoses and still had aeration,
