Honestly have no clue, not much over stock. Stock was 325/560. It just has a 4" exhaust, AFE cai, AFE intake elbow. My CTS has three tunes in it and I think the highest setting is 100hp so I'll see how that does but I really want to get a tuner that tunes the trans as well so I don't grenade that thing. I'm more for mpg though but an occasional power trip is never bad. Here it is next to my old f150. Before the lift and bumper adjustment.

That's an awesome truck man. I hear ya on not pushing the tune too hard. After you sink all that time and money into it, you want it to last a while. Same boat I'll be in once I get the charger on. @ibbd2328 is the exception to the rule. I want to see his run ***** to the wall! LOL

From what I've been reading on LR, the stock heat exchanger & I/C res may not be very efficient in higher temp areas? Gets hotter than hades down here during the summer. Any thoughts or comments whether I should bite the bull it & look for a double pass HE w/ or w/o fans & a different I/C tank? Shiz is expensive, but I don't want to run into super high IAT2 temps.

You can't get any cooler than ambient without a KC. I would run a larger reservoir with the stock H/E with fans and larger hoses if you can. See how it is and if you need more change the H/E.

Any issues with the larger hoses and factory pump? Loss of pressure and slower flow? Man, I really need to call you sometime and pick your brain. LOL

Killer chiller. Taps into your a/c system and cools the coolant in the I/C
