in my honest opinion. I don't really believe in fuel coolers, i mean they work, but is it really worth it?

Get an oil cooler first, thats where the best cooling comes from. AFTER an oil cooler, than yes, i would say a fuel cooler would be an okay investment.

Notice BMW's(and other big-time cars) come with BIG oil coolers, not fuel coolers. Its for a reason.

werd... oil cooler will be MUCH more effective for the money paid... also, you dont have to spend $700 on the greddy oil cooler. Believe it or not, those universal ones at places like sutozone work great

put money into bigger radiator, oil cooler, fans, dual oil filter to hold more oil, bigger oil pan. dont waste money on a fuel cooler.

But you'll get like 15 hp from the cooler fuel!!!

But is your motor even built that far? I'm guessing no
