good price for an intercooler??

[chriscecc914]

spearco have good coolers as well...

what has brought about better hp #'s ETC TMIC or CP-E FMIC? And blablabla about "hp #'s dont matter its cooling efficiency that matters." If its got better cooling efficiency it should make better #'s!

I am mainly concerned with position of the intercooler. Any core that can handle 300-350 hp would be good. Not planning on going too crazy with power mods.

Just because you can size an intercooler for 350 hp, does not mean you should. As someone pointed out earlier, it will block more of the radiator. The goal is to go to the size needed for the power you are running - without having to upgrade the radiator and fans also. A properly size FMIC will also show such a small amount of pressure loss, so that it becomes inconsequential.

Jordan from CP-E has some excellent points. You have to go with what you prefer and are comfortable with. It is your car after all. Most experts lean towards the FMIC's though.

Keep the TMIC just relocate an upgraded Garret turbo to the rear exhaust area Squires style and you`ll have a perfectly 100% effecient cooling.

Unless the core is extreamly thick and way too big then I don't see the ms3 raising coolant temps much because of a frount mount. Plus if they did then I would just use water wetter to get those extra few degrees back. Plus it will have better air flow on top of the engine with the top mount gone and I'm sure there is a way to redirect that scoop on the air dam to the radiator.. There are way too many benafits to a frount mount to not get one in my opinion.
