Looks cool, but i'd be a bit dubius of using them in anything other than a show car. Wonder what would happen in the cold weather?

The video of the radiator hose is off their top speed hemi charger, so I think the have had plenty of r&d. Although the boost pipes could be a different story.

That does look cool for show cars but I wouldn't want to be the one doing up the hose clips on the boost pipes!

Four cores @ 4.4ghz and 1.65volts core voltage, two 4870x2 gfx cards - o'clocked as well. That's a lot of heat to get rid of - about 1.1kw.
