Most everything I've heard is that the factory Inter cooler is quite adequate stock and even into the 400 and 500hp range. The Techni cooler will show you little to no gains except make you faster due to a lighter wallet.

:lol: Banks stuff seems to be more marketing than actual gains. Spend the money somewhere else.

Better stop it or you'll hurt their feelings and they'll send out the trolls to make you feel bad. ):h

Good gains... and will survive at over 60 PSIG sustained. The stocker...... will not.

If you not new, you should try out the search function, there are several threads containing lots of info......the good, the bad and the ugly.

Did not anticipate that I would waste any of your time by asking a question..:exactly:

How much? Where are you dyno before and after?

Did you blow up a stock Intercooler? I'd like to see pics if you did.

I did not see any differences at the track besides my times being more consistent between hot and cold days. If you tow you will see reduced EGT’s, and that is why I recommend it to those people and not the racers.

I like to compare the techni cooler to the bd manifold. It opens up airways, but doesn't make enough differance in power to feel.
