Default What air-to-air intercooler to run?
How would this air-to-air intercooler do with around 900-1000rwhp?

I've got a 31x12x4" ebay unit, will cross that bridge when we get there I guess. =) If it doesn't work out, I'll definitely pick up a treadstone unit, had one on my TA and it worked great.

cx racing makes nice stuff for the money. i ran a cx racing air to water on a diesel pulling truck that made somewhere around 900 hp and saw 60-70 psi and it worked great.

That's the unit I bought. Looked like a nice piece. What kind of pressure drop were you seeing through the intercooler?

Treadstone one here, bought the 4.5" thick tr-12 model. Not too much more then a eBay one and a lot better quality!

What are your IAT's? How much power are you making?

Haven't started it yet all I can base my opinion is the build quality and reviews all over other forums.
