ANY HAVE A COTTONS FRONT MOUNT does it really make a differeance

I have a Cotton's and it works really well.

The actual MAT temps., stay within 20dF of ambient, and while they may increase a little intially, as the road speed increases the MATs return to the ambient +20.

While the engine runs about 5-10dF warmer on a hot day, the gains in having a cooler MAT more then make up for that.

I think if you do a search you will see a couple of threads on this subject. It seems the majority feel the cottons is slightly better but I think it cost a good bit more too. I have a PTE and works real good.

Cotton has the biggest, best fitting unit. BUT, I think he is working on something even BIGGER!

It's available now.
And it's HUGE.
Instead of the pipes, elbowing into the tanks like the *current* one, the I/C is another 3" taller. And it looks to be a little wider.
Did I mention it's huge?!
