If you didn't already know AFCO currently makes the best selling and best performing heat exchanger for the 2003-2004 Mustang Cobra.  Well they're going to do just the same for the GT500 by offering the same technology and quality with their Pro-Series H\/E.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen dealing with Roots or Twin Screw Superchargers there's always the issue of intake temps. When running the car hard and spinning the blower fast you create heat. Heat equals a loss in power as well as the possibility of damage to the engine. One way to help reduce these intake temps and the risk of damage is to add more fluid into the intercooler system which in turn helps lower intake temps by dissapating heat. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether it be on the street or at the track the warmer the car runs the more timing gets pulled. In addition to that an excessive amount of heat known as heat soak starts to take place. This keeps the car down on power and running less efficient. This again can be helped by adding more fluid into the cooling system. The temperature of the intercooler fluid will lower and cool down faster in between runs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere is a rundown of AFCO Pro-Series heat exchanger vs. Stock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore Size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAFCO core is 9\" tall x 22.44\" wide x 2\" thick.\u003cbr\u003eStock is 6\" tall x 23\" wide x 1.25\" thick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStock 6\"\u003cbr\u003eAFCO 9\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stock 23\"\u003cbr\u003eAFCO 22.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stock 1.25\"\u003cbr\u003eAFCO 2.0\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFront Face Area\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStock 138 sq. in.\u003cbr\u003eAFCO 202 sq. in.

It is just that simple. However, providing your engine with cool air to breathe becomes even more difficult when forced induction is involved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e  Ford's potent supercharged V8 is no exception. This is why Ford designed a separate intercooling system for the supercharger on their popular F150 Lightning, Shelby GT500 and 03-04 Mustang Cobra. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Ford system utilizes a heat exchanger mounted low in the front grill, which is very similar to a small radiator. Coolant flows separately from the main engine cooling system and circulates internally through the intercooler beneath the supercharger. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the factory supercharger cooling system is adequate in stock configuration, it struggles to keep up with the multitude of popular modifications that not only deliver more power, but also increase the stress and strain on the engine. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo combat the power loss by excessive heat build up in the supercharger and intake system, AFCO focused on upgrading the weakest component in this cooling system: THE HEAT EXCHANGER. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAFCO Heat Exchangers are considerably larger than their stock counterparts. This provides a greater surface area and more capacity. AFCO Heat Exchangers reduce supercharger coolant temperatures by more than 40 degrees. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue Bolt-In Installation\u003c\/strong\u003e No Cutting  No Drilling  No Welding  No Headaches\u003cbr\u003eAFCO Heat Exchanger installation only requires simple hand tools and approximately 2-3 hours.
