Just an FYI for you guys, I got the 6" tall twin turbo treadstone intercooler, pre/post temps are about 70 deg difference on my fox(not a lot of good air flow to it), but big deal is pressure drop is only 1.5-2 psi through it at probably around 1100rwhp.

And the TIG welder, I was a little skeptical, but I love it!



I made this weld within an hour of turning the thing on and TIG'ing for the first time. I have NEVER TIG'd before, just watched a couple youtube videos and went at it! Not too bad i think. I'm getting a lot better at it now. Running off a 110V power strip (i know its not recommended) thats simultaneously running Florescent shop lights, a halogen light, and my garage stereo, it still has enough power to weld 1/4" alum. I tried some thicker stuff but it kept blowing the breaker on the strip. Does steel no problem. I'm happy so far!
Yeah TIG welding is awesome. Lot cleaner!!

Good job researching and going with the verticle style intercooler.
