Spearco, Bell, Precision, Treadstone, CRX racing, Garrett and Chiseled are what I know of off the top of my head.

i ran one of the cxracing i/c's. they are not bad for the price. at the track iats would start around 100 and end at 140. once i installed a meth kit iats would go as low as 70. recently in 100* ambient temps iats would be in the 90s with meth.

That's the one I'm running (and many others), and it should be sufficient for the majority of power levels.

To give you an idea of size/fitment...this is with a bracket I made.

Yes, that's the 31x12x4 CXRacing intercooler. I made the bracket myself using 1x1" square tube and bar stock.

Tally, is your intercooler part number IC0023 on cx's website? I like that setup with the square tubing.
