I just got the new updated A&A system. 3" tubes runnig into the T/B and with the radiator sitting at a more up right position, and shrouding in the radiator area. There is a much larger space between the inter cooler and radiator. Also there is an improved airdam at the base of the system which directs more air into the radiator. 100 degree day in L.A. stop and go traffic for about an hour with the a/c running. Temps never got over 195 dgs.
