By adding a larger resesivor you now have a larger pool of coolant to draw from therefor having the overall temperature displaced over the greater amount of coolant keeping things cooler. When you look at the stillen tank, it looks smaller then a water bottle. The other advantage is having an icebox for track days.

My advice is to read on an svt forum, lots of info on there since they all run/start off with exchangers.

No thats exactly what I thought, an thanx for the info
But I will be trying to stay under the hood, I'm looking at areas where I could fit something, with the stock intake manifold gone I have some room on the drivers side of the car to work with, plus with my new vented hood the is a lot of air moving around in there so staying in that area will not be that bad,.
