CVT (was:Intake manifold construction, intercoolers)

I'm sorry--you can't lose 75HP in the transmission. No amount of cooler
would dissipate that kind of heat. A factory cooler is nothing more than a
loop of tubing in the radiator...not much of a cooler at any rate. Even an
aftermarket self regulating cooler with 12 litres wouldn't handle 56,000
watts. That's enough energy to melt 3/4  ton block of ice in an hour !

Auto trans are so fluid "fussy" that even lowering a 190F  ATF temp by 10
degrees F will double the fluid life.
