70% of what? What is this mythical number that you are basing your 70% off of? Could it be that a heat exchanger's size and lay out plays a large part in it's efficiency. Are you trying to tell us that every heat exchanger is the same no matter size location of even configuration for that matter? You like to throw out numbers but they mean NOTHING! Stop speculating on things you know nothing about. Stick to easier things like how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop. Tackle that one then come back to us. <img src="http://www.tootsie-roll.com/img/picProductMrowl.gif">

Default Hey I am just trying to understand the man's numbers but he isn't painting the entire picture.

This man insists that the Liquid/air system doesn't work for daily drivers. I want to know why.

Default ;^) I would rather talk tech (even if it is in an argument) rather than listen to how pretty my

wheels or shift **** is over and over again.

It is in the works. The local shop is getting an AWD dyno very soon.

Default ...inlet/outlet temperatures should be provided too.

...water has a good heat capacity, unless the car is really warmed up, dyno results alone would be misleading.

Default That tootsie pop question has always baffled me...

Those commercials are right, I get halfway through and bite the thing.

No self control over here.
