Anyways...if your t00ner did some research before just throwing stuff at your car, he would know that there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to have that many cores in an air to water IC.
Just trying to help you lose some weight.

Wow...nice jab at someone else because you have nothing on me.

Just like the 10.1 compression and 45r with the 42r housing. Part of having fun seeing what works and being innovative.
ETS has been building water to airs for the V8 world for some time now so this is nothing new for them but building them on a setup like this is. How much experience do you have at this level? I would rather have 58 deg temps than 130 deg temps any day

Great innovations!
Best tuner!
Best power-to-weight ratio!
So what's the excuse?
It must be the driver!
Probably too much traction on the front wheels from the heavy I/C so you need a solid rear conversion to get traction on the rear wheels because you're not breaking rear ends so it should help in the traction department.
Or it could be too much chassis flex from what use to be a unibody car to now a non- body version.

LOL always something but thats why we keep coming back for more!
Paul, I really don't mean to be a dick or anything, but shouldn't you be more concerned about getting the car to go straight down the track and work on the driving/tune?
TO ME, it seems that every time you goto the track your not happy with the results and take the route of stripping the car down more. I understand you wanna be as light as possible, but man, Seriously how much more can you really cut out of the car and make it unsafe?
Take my car for example, I'm on a ETS 5" thick core FMIC, gt4202 non bb turbo, I have carpet and all in the car. I haven't cut hardly anything out of my car other then the crash beams and misc crap in the doors, but it still retains the door panels. Car has gone 8.83 @164mph thus far. and with the car being at 2750lbs
All I am saying is you already have the power to do it, and the car "should" be light enough as it is. You just need the driver mod and get the car to go straight. Those are the 2 biggest things I would be focused on rather then cutting the hell out of the car cause you think that will help.
You just got done figuring out how to make the car settle down and go some what straighter. And now you are taking more weight out, and in end result, your chassis adjustments are going to change once again. Your back to ground 0 again with the chassis.
Just my thoughts on it. Don't shoot me for it
