[monte87]

Hi all,

I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on the ROUSH MAX COOLING UPGRADE? Anyone on here have it? How do they like it and was it worth the extra $2G's plus install.. All replies are welcome and greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks Anthony

I understand the idea and principles behind this but not my cup of tea. I’d rather spend $1100 on a killer chiller and get way better iat2’s and use the left over money for other parts. Now if Roush could show consistent real world numbers at just above what the Killer chiller can do then it might be worth the money. I’m also not a real fan of chopping up my car either but that’s just me.

Thanks for the reply!!! =) what is a killer chiller? I've never heard of it. I'm new to S550S, I'm an oldschool foxbody guy, learning as I go along.
I agree with you via chopping up car. The kit does come w that those really cool side front fender vents that the stage 3 has.. they work hand and hand w front fascia vents to cool off auxiliary coolers.

Just like everything it had its pros and it’s cons but it has way more pros than cons for me.

If you have the money to spend anything to help with heat on this Roush blower will help, but with the numbers they show i wouldn't expect anything major from it. As ProShop mentioned there are other options to help keep iat2 down. After a few hwy pulls or one track pull on warm not even hot days it will pull power like crazy. I have had mine for a few months now and learning the ropes with this setup. When its runs it runs strong, but when it starts to pull power you feel like you drop a few hundred HP.

Also, stay away from the Roush coil covers. I put them on a few weeks ago and man, they will heat soak the car faster than driving on the sun. Glad i got them cheap on Ebay cause they are now garage decoration. They do make the engine bay look nicer though.

If you pull the trigger on the kit, do us Roush owners a favor. Log your IAT2 before and after the install so we have some real world data to see if the money is well spent or not.

I'm always skeptical of Killer Chiller's claims that it doesn't drip condensate, which is a big no no for drag strip.

In 95F florida heat, I find it hard to believe that the AC system could run without creating condensation and dripping somewhere.

I have this on my 2018 GT lowers IATs 30-35 degrees. Really when it is 100 + here in Texas sucking in 65-70 degree IATs while cruising. Be advised: It is a fucking pain in the ass system but when all the kinks get worked out it works great.

I can definitely see where you are coming from I’ll let you know once mine is installed. Mine is a DD and a street car so not a huge concern for me.

My Killer Chiller is great... here in FL heat my IAT2's are 30-40 degrees lower. I researched my installer and gave him the link to Primo's install video. I also had them custom make me a high side line.

That’s exactly what I’m having done!

If you are near Tampa I'd recommend Ramsey's performance in Lutz. He did mine and did a wonderful job. Got it knocked out in a day.

Unfortunately I’m at the other end of I-4 in Daytona.

Terminator Cobras are big fans of chiller killers.... check out svtperformance.com for more detailed info, not specific to S550 of course but the system in general.
