I was going to go with an ice hv 160 and use mech brakes... But are hydra systems better at handling the high current spikes ??? but would you definitely need some form of water cooling?

I was going to fab something up so the ICE HV would have one or two fans...
I started with the hydra hv 180 in my truck and then switched to the ICE hv 160. I saw no performance difference and the advantage of the ICE is data-logging capablility. I haven't used a fan on the ICE and my temps have been fine.
