New Ralliart record!!
Ditto, more info on the transmission fan please........ Also, is the ralliart transmission cooler the same size as the Evo X MR transmission cooler? Why did you opt for the fan over replacing the cooler with a larger unit? What would your suggestions be for the longevity of the unit, larger cooler or the addition of the fan? Thanks in advance.

I believe the Ralliart and MR coolers are the same.
The fan is just a 7" automotive fan strapped to the front of the cooler. There is an empty 30 amp fuse slot not used that is ignition switched and remains on for about 10 seconds after the car turns off.
It barely fits and the motor itself blocks a portion of the core from air, but for drag racing it works well because it pushes air thru when you are stalling at the line and at lower speeds.
We are looking into some cooler upgrades now.

Very important question(s):
How does car drive?
Does it feel entirely stock a cruise speeds?
If you guys haven't messed with the suspention it should drive as good as tock right?
Hows gas mileage? Any real world driving already done with this hottie?
CEL lights?
I'm estimating $3,000 already spent in this car (as per our price on most parts) right?
Is this thread real, and I'm not dreaming and the Ralliart is already 2 seconds quicker than itself stock?
Running in stock rubber? Those skinny sucky *** 215's? I think this one has been answered...
Oh, btw, Nice freaking job guys! I'm Impressed!

The car is driven daily actually. Other than the whoosh sound from the intake, it drives and feels 100% stock. It seems to be averaging about 22 mpg on typical suburban mixed routes. It has a CEL, probably from the test pipe and not having any kind of rear o2 trickery.
I am totally impressed with its performance. I never dreamed it would be this fast this easily.

Eric, so will it be possible for you guys to start selling those fans for our tranny coolers, with all the straps and whatever required to make the fan fit onto the cooler? i have seen some pictures around here somewhere where you guys installed one for evo x. I would like to do the same thing, or may be come up with a way for a larger cooler or a second cooler. and BTW props on your 91 galant vr4 that is still my dream car!!
