Default Radiator cooling plate to use with Comptech?

Are there any of these that will fit correctly or work with the Comptech intake installed??

Some nice ones are designed to work with the stock airbox, would these help or hinder?

all these things are is engine bling, don't fool or be fooled. If you wanted one look at the one Evasive Motorsports sells. Looks like it will fit with the comptech intake and is much less expensive...

^^I doubt that. I have a Comptech CAI and was running it w/o a cooling plate for a while. And I must say, the intake tube gets pretty hot.

And once I installed a generic CF cooling plate, the tube seems to be alot cooler.

Don't get me wrong, I never dyno proved it. But just knowing that my intake tube is cooler makes me satisfied.

I have a Garage defend cooling plate with a K&N drop in filter. It helps with heat soak, thats the only reason i got it. Hp gains if any are minimal.

Please find one without the inlet for the stock box and without air vent to let the air past it. That way we can use it with a CAI or a SC.

I thought the point of the cooling plate was to force the air through the radiator, not allow it into the engine bay.
