That's good. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed at Stillen that their cooler wasn't sized properly to begin with. It should have been pushed hard at the track - after all, hardcore track users are the people who will be buying it.

Oh well, that's what early release stuff is all about I guess. At least they're serious about follow-up...

I'll second that. Josh contacted me and offered to get one of the first coolers to me in time for Mid-Ohio. He also indicated that they could offer some upgrades if wanted them.

My guess is that the current cooler will satisfy a lot of people. Travis may be in one of the hotter spots for tracking a car. Swapping out the core will not be a difficult job and most likely won't be too hard to find a buyer for it.

my mech offered to buy it, but in the end, we've instead decided to double-down on cores! will likely install an identical core in series on driver's side... if that doesn't do the trick, not sure what will

Damn - dual cores puts the price at $1100, plus install. They'd better work ; )

I'm not paying that much, but regardless I think it is worth investing in this area for those using the car at the track a lot, esp in hotter climates like AZ and SoCal

Personal experience. There is some info on the performance friction website IIRC. Might be some more info on other manufacturers websites about different compounds.
