I was a close call...the Red Dot 6260 has same basic "roof
footprint", draws a little more power with the dual fans, and ran
about $350 more than the 6160 (which was in stock). Kysor AC had two
models that I looked at also, one similar to what I got, the next one
up was as I recall about 40" wide and too big for my mounting area.
Based solely on my W.A.G., I went with the smaller unit for $ and
also based on what tiny size of the OEM cond. element...even the 6160
adds roughly 25-30% to the heat exchange area, so I am hoping this is
sufficent for my needs. My opinion is that to realistically improve
performance of the dash air, the OEM condenser unit has to go, and I
think that going to either the 6160 or the 6260 unit is a good way to
go (but I am a novice, these are just my guesses). Another concern
is that the OEM electrical wiring is in my view another possible weak
link. I was trying to reduce amp load with the one fan.

I agree that the York/CCI type compressor will handle about anything,
this type unit fits the RPM range of our 3208's perfectly and we have
really no reason to worry about engine load with our engines.

Hopefully next weekend I can do final installs, evacuate and recharge
and see what I have accomplished. I'll take readings of pressures
and temps and update my posting...that will let us both know.
