From what I'm seeing, you guys with the really big IC'S, are wasting a lot of cooling area. A lot of the intake[fins], are behind the bumper, so your not getting the correct airflow. "Moon"

Ya Know Moon, I have been thinking the same thing ever since these IC offerings came out. I think your right, almost half the IC is behind the bumper.

I am going the route of CO2 Sprayers on the existing IC(15-30 degree temp drop), and just rig it to a button. I still have to check but, I do believe if I go the CO2 route bye bye warrenty. There was a TSB about lowering IAT's and voiding warrenty, but that may only include a wet meth injection, since the CO2 is outside the system. Again I still have some homework to do on this. But a purge beats a bigger IC in my book. Plus it looks really cool!

i dunno bout all that. My ic works real well for me. Once again comes back to being tuned for everything

BINGO Bart we got us a winner....it is blocked your correct but in Texas they say BIGGER is better. and everything and i repeat EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS....But who's to say we arent hiding something in behind the Intercooler?

if you slap on a front mount on the car and youre 100% stock then yeah youre wasting your money but then again if youre modded and have a good tuner behind you then its all good

ever consider how fast aluminum transfers energy 45,312 btu/hr/sqft. The whole thing doesn't need to be exposed to air flow to be cooling the charge.The deciding factor for me was seeing the blown out end tanks on the stockers. take a look at the difference and run what you are comfortable putting your trust in.

Well SSfan for the win....lock stock and barrel....

Hey SS Fan i think i gots me one of those too hehe
