What do you guys think?

My question would be, "How much cooler would this one keep our engines compared to the regular CFM oil tank?"

Who knows if it really helps cooling with the holes, looks cool tho lol. I had a CFM and liked it, only dislike was trying to get the headers off.

Someone on here has one of those on their 400, can't remember who though.

Yeah it looks cool, haha. But I wish whoever had one would chime in.

Wander how much the temp drop varies compared to the regular cfm tank?.. If its worth the $60 more, I'll get it. I need anything to keep my 400 cool.

Especially if I bore it to a 416 or 426 down the road.

I have one with holes in it...been running it for a good decade....416, then 428 for a couple yrs. Then a 440 and for last several yrs a 406. I like it, have to take mounting bolts to it off and move around a bit for headers to slip on and off. I can not tell you if it makes it cooler or not. I read somehwere once the oil gets hot its going to stay hot. But having added oil doesn't hurt. I feel I can go longer between oil changes before the oil breaks down. My motor which is a 99' has held up well for alot of yrs. of flat out racing and riding.

I'm going to be ordering one near the end of July with one of those custom fan kits a member sells on here. I just ordered a XR dipstick so I want to compare my temperatures when I get both of the other cooling parts.
