Hi guys. I was curious if anyone has tested their paxton setup for boost loss due to the aftercooler. I'm especially curious at levels above the 650 rwhp level such as 700 or 800. The cooler is such a small unit that I'd imagine it'd loose efficiency over 700 at the wheels. What do you guys think? Also, what fluid are you running in yours?

The small unit is good for only one run before it gets hot. The solution by DLM is this.

Doug built a rear intercooler and pump so I can continuosly boost. This system was built and designed by Doug Levin. I went to the Bradenton event this December and ran a 10.40 and 5 minutes later ran a 10.43. Made one more run and pulled a 10.41. I never opened the hood or allowed any cool down time. This was on pump gas and street tires(Pirelli P Zero) & doing 3 consecutive runs I should have used some race gas just to keep temps down, but I didn't.

I would say the DLM method is extremely efficient. Doug understands engine efficiency and the proper set-ups for longevity. Thanks DLM
