Here it is...
Larger intercooler will reduce heat soak which is when the fuid cooling the intercooler can not disapate heat as fast as heat is being built up. This causes intake air temps to rise and the EEC will pull timing to prevent detonation and in turn you will lose power. It looks like a decent unit but its height is not only dangerous but wasted since it caovered. They could have added a couple inches to each end to increase surface area as well. Also larger tanks and a higher volume IC pump will help as well.Originally posted by JSHTROD
What's the real benefit of this larger intercooler? Other than looking good?

Your headed in the right direction.Now get the antifreeze out of it and use 6 ozs.redLine watter wetter and the rest ditilled water.This will keep you at least 10% cooler as weve infomally tested them on 3 differant )3's,Dave S.
I dont actually have one and wouldnt get a unit that hung below my bumber, thats just asking for trouble. I also run the KB so generally speaking will have lower temps than an eaton. It will play a bigger role in autocross or many back to back pulls than it will normal driving, I mau look into an aftermarket unit sometime down the road.Originally posted by JSHTROD
Sounds like it might be good for high boost.
Have you monitored any intercooler temp changes?
