What kind of improvement with better intercooler?

[Sal 87WE2]

Guys, trying to decide if i should blow more money on an intercooler upgrade or for something else on the money pit. With my Alky Control, will i see an improvement over the stock intercooler if i were to get a stretched or front mount? My thinking is the Alky has a cooling effect on the intake charge and therefore the intercooler upgrade may not help as much...

Thoughts?

I think it will depend on how much boost you are running and want to run.

Just adding a duttwiller neck to a stock IC is a good start if mostly start.

I buy some better tires

A stretch stock location will allow the turbo to work better. But done for pressure drop not cooling issues.

thanks Julio. I am taking that as not being cost effective :smile:

The stock IC is so under rated, its been high 10s and low 11s. And thats back before alky was popular. The Razor kit i am sure wouldve made that combo go faster. Benji from Augusta Ga went 10:90s one year at the Nats in his TTA with the stock IC so it can be done.

I agree with spooln.
