looking at Evo's. Few Questions.

Is that the same gentleman who you were in a little HP war with? Bigger guy.. name escapes me...
Yes sir, Tom/Supraboy1. I'm currently winning the pump gas war (416 vs. 409), but I still need to get an E85 tune.

what does it run for a decent cooler??

Holy fuckin noob tax, you could piece that together for less than 1/2. :Banane55:

So why don't you get into the Evo X MR SST cooler business? I guarantee you that you won't be able to put together an equivalent kit for half that.

I didn't go to school for that and I don't care too. If businesses were that simple everyone would have their own business.

But thanks for caring.

Noob tax or a company that probably tested dozens of coolers and chose this as the best for one reason or another, then has the balls to sell it and stand behind it?

Reminder: sometimes you come across as very arrogant on the internet :)

Here's the coolers I planned to use to piece a kit together for my Envoy (M7B). Good coolers. Could definately piece together a kit for well under $200 I'd think.

The "noob" tax is RnD cost...it always has been. Some companies piece together something and price it for the market without doing much research but AMS is one of the few that track tests everything.

Are they expensive, hell yes...and yes you could piece one together for a lot less sure. But like Scheides said its for the company that supports the product.

Time is also money, getting your own kit to work properly takes time and something that could potentially take 8-16 hours or more of your time and multiple trips to the hardware store, well suddenly 500 doesn't seem so bad. Some people value their time more than others, while some prefer to do it themselves as they get joy from it.

I personally like AMS because they are the ones that figure everything out then everyone else copies them.

Great, now add in hose, fittings, hardware, brackets, a fan, fan shroud, and fan wiring, plus the R&D time to fit, install, and test. :)

I still dont see that adding up to double the cost haha, im going to have to agree with Brown and Bman.

Its obvious that higher platforms charge more for parts though, then say DSM parts. Its like comparing corvette parts to high end Porsche parts. Might be similar products in the end, like exhaust, but you pay more because they can charge more.

Theres nothing really scientific to a tranny cooler.. its just a tiny radiator.
