Just wanted to pass along some products that will help benefit cool down your Shelby GT500 better. The number one enemy that hurts the Shelby's performance or any forced induction application is heat. Heat absolutely kills a vehicle's performance and can also cause damage to your engine. It becomes even more important when modifying your vehicle to create more power, whether its from turning the boost up or doing an intake. You want to keep your intake air temps under control. Even in stock form their is room for improvement. So here are some key modifications to achieve lower temps.
Moroso Intercooler Reservoir(Click here for more info or to order) (http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=2678_124_20328_18144_203 72&products_id=15385)
Doing this modification allows you to hold more fluid than stock, more fluid will equal faster and more efficient cooling times. Stock tanks holds 1.5 qts, this tank holds close to a GALLON. Not only that but it definitely helps in the looks department.

AFCO Dual Pass Heat Exchanger(Click here for more info or to order) (http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=2678_124_20328_20329_203 30&products_id=15328)
The best and most efficient way to reduce temps is with an upgraded Heat Exchanger. The AFCO Dual Pass is the ticket. It has a dual pass design, and it is much larger than stock. With this upgrade intake air temps can drop as much as 10deg, which is a HUGE difference especially when doing back to back spirited driving, or racing.

Canton Coolant Expansion Tank(Click here for more info or to order): (http://dagostinoracing.com/index.php?main_page=product_in fo&cPath=2678_124_20328_18144_181 45&products_id=11540)
One of the last modifications I would suggest is a Canton Expansion Tank. While this is for the engine coolant temps, its still a good idea to maintain engine coolant temps down. This is more important for those who do a lot of driving, or do road racing.
