LDC Cooling Mod Help

[dkg]

Whats up everybody.

Quick question does anyone have this LDC cooling set up in their 03 or 04 cobras? Do you reccomend this on cobras that have the blue stripe around the drivers side head (I think this is the updated design correct me if I am wrong)? If you do reccomend this mod what style should I go with? Thanks.

There has been a big heated debate over this mod. I personally have it as it can't hurt anything by creating more flow out of the head.
I have the blue stripe and I used the LDC Cooling mod.

You can get the LDC kit here

i do know when i have to do a clutch i will be adding the ldc cooling mod to my car. its looks like one of the best ones out there.

Have it on mine too, can't hurt anything, but some believe it doesn't help either. I say if you are pulling the trans out, What the hell, throw it in there while you're at it.

Damn, you gotta pull the tranny to do that?

Can't hurt, it looks like a much better kit than the one from Apten. I know I'll be doing one on the Mach the first time I have to yank the tranny.

There is another one Amazon carried that I don't believe you need to drop the trans for. Even Flow head cooling mod?

I have it in both my cars, obviously I like it. I don't see how it could not help. Stock there is no coolant flow what so ever to the back of the head, so obviously some coolant flow is better then no coolant flow.

[About2Bite]

I agree competely, the LDC is the best one available and requires the trans to be dropped the evenflow Head cooling mod can be done with the trans in place but requieres the removal of the blower although there are guys who have done it with the blower in place.

If it were me i'd wait until the trans needs to be dropped and do the LDC mod then. It definately won't hurt anything.

so if the hose were to mess up, or the clamps were to loosen, or a leak were to occur, it would require the removal of the transmission to fix it???? yikes!!!!! no thanks, IMO....

God just get the mod. You worry too much :bounce:

If your heater core hose comes loose you are in the same boat of hard to get to.

It's better than the tick followed by spending a few grand for the updated heads imo

[mfj]

updated heads don't need the ldc cooling mod??

[About2Bite]

They aren't prone to develope the tick like the old head design is, they can all benefit from the Head cooling mod. These motors produce so much heat any mod that helps lower those temps and your IAT's is a good mod to do, LT's, Heat exchanger, port etc.

Lets look at it this way. The right head flows coolant out the back for the heater core. The Left head doesn't.

The LDC mod allows both heads to flow out the back.

You can make a determination on which will provide the best coolant flow.

[wickedcobra]

so what you are saying is it flows out the back of the head? LOL.

I will be doing the mod before summer.

Yes it's rocket science.:Bucktooth:

Since we are on cooling mod topic, is it worth the money to throw in a upgraded radiator and reservoir?

Depends on what you use the car for.

[AZSonicSnake]

i would suggest it. especially if you have a smaller pulley, or ported blower. nothing wrong with too much cooling.

[BurnTire]

I have the intercooler tank and heat exchanger.

I have the stock rad.
