which intercooler
Which intercooler are you guys running? I'm sure its been covered but I cant find much. Its a procharged car that will likely upgrading my D1 to a f1a or c. The 370 is in the machine shop as we speak so looking at other things to upgrade such as my 3" ebay intercooler. Should I just upgrade to the 4" ebay intercooler like I see people run or is there a much better one for similar to slightly more? I'm looking at making 900ish. Thanks guys.

I just swapped out the 31x12x4 EMusa cooler for a treadstone $500 unit. I did an ls1 to ls6 intake swap at the same time, but picked up almost 5mph at the same boost levels. My intake temps dropped quite a bit and I'm assuming the pressure drop across the core is much better. I wouldn't bother going the the larger china core. I'd go with the TS unit if your upgrading. Same dimensions as the china core, I literally dropped the old IC and popped this one into place.

I'm running a Treadstone cooler now also. Don't have any data yet though. The only obvious downside is that the cast end tanks make them a little heavier than they need to be.

We can offer a slightly larger unit with a Spearco core. Core measures 28 x 13 x 5.1 and is rated to 1250+.
We can have them done with 3", 3.5" or 4" inlet/outlets.

Force,
It looks like you have a different type of core with the EMUSA vs the Treadstone. Was the EMUSA a bar and plate job or a bar and fin?
