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 bought a kit from cx racing 31x12x4 is what everyone runs , the kit was 268 shipped , im making a fmic kit to upgrade from the dual intercoolers this winter.
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.
My vote goes to treadstone too. Hard to beat the quality and performance for $500ish. You'll find a few nay Sayers but those guys have no real experience with them.
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.

Man your right about that. They are solid for sure.

18lbs for the EMusa
29lbs for the Treadstone
The TS .5" thicker and taller, but I was surprised how heavy it was.
