It is also my opinion that buying an intercooler solely based on temps is just stupid. But that is also just my opinion.
How do you choose your intercoolers if it's not temp based??

i like my RJC mega cooler. it was easy to install and the performance so far has been awesome. my car runs cool too in the Georgia heat too:smile: . First pass was a 11.44 at 122.86 with a small te44 at 23 lbs and a soft launch because i was worried about breaking something. i don't have any data as far as intake temps but the intercooler seems to be working great. i will be putting a th400 with a brake and a 70 or bigger turbo in a couple of months..i am looking for a very low 10 car that i can drive to the track and back home an hour each way.

It starts with PV=nRT. :biggrin:
Our vendors on this board have some very nice I/C's out there.
I will be the first to admit I don't completly understand I/C design. I do try to look at things with common sense though. The percision is one of the smaller units right? Isn't that the one Dave laid down the big TSM # with, 9.23? So that leads me to belive size isn't everything:biggrin:
Dave's is a custom piece made from 2 Precision ICs I believe. But Kerney was using the RJC when he went 8.95Roy & Laz were using Jack's when they went 9.32

2 Precision intercoolers would not be legal in TSM due to the core hanging down past the core support. We made a great intercooler even better by adding a few more rows of core on the bottom to reach the core support.
I heard Roy and Laz had some problems after that pass, it appears they have found the limit of the " New **** "

That is true.. Im just trying to keep my options open.. Im not buying a intercooler because " it looks cool" or is "really big!" has to be efficient and make mph. Its seems the Precision is proven.. RJC piece looks nice, but have not heard any performance gains from it.

Steve,
The ideal gas law is the most accurate for monatomic gases and is favored at high temperatures and low pressures. It does not factor in the size of each gas molecule or the effects of intermolecular attraction. The more accurate Van der Waals equation takes these into consideration. Thought you might be interested in plugging this one in too.
