Thinking about going OBX..Couple questions My current setup consists of a d1sc and twin highflows...ive been offered a great deal on the OBX cooler. What dimensions do you guys typically run on this intercooler? Are they all the same? The one im looking at is 23" wide (31" with endtanks) 11.75" tall, 3" thick...endtanks diameter is 3" too. Im looking to upgrade now because ive got a 355 build coming up very soon. Will i see a significant drop in IAT's from a front mount over the twin highflows? Does anyone have any old piping theve fabbed up and not using anymore? Id buy them for sure...
my twin highflows are the 3.5 inchers not the new 4.5 inch models

You will see a big gain from having cooler inlet air temps, which allows you to run even more boost. If you're at 7 psi now, you could be adding another 80 to 100 rwhp to it by upping the boost to 14 psi. Bob
