If you are only going to use it at the drags or hillclimbs don't mess with a heat exchanger. You will have to run a LOT more exchanger than that to get the performance you want. Plus you are going to have to mount and plumb that sucker somewhere that gets a lot of airflow. For what you are doing I would run a ice chest. It will work about elenvindy billion times better and end up costing you less money in the end because when you are running an ice chest you can employ one of the lower cost bilge pumps. And you can mount the ice chest in the back of the car out of sight and where you have more room. And if you need to you can always run it with just water in it. If the ice chest is aluminum it will shed quite a bit of heat.
Thanks again for the info. It looks like it has 3/4" NPT or around a 12AN fitting so I will have to go bigger? You sound like you have done this a couple times so any suggestions on which one to go with would be great!

You answered my question about the heat exchanger plus I'm starting to run out of room as it sits already. I love the idea of running a ice chest as you suggested. This will be the direction I will go.
