Default Question about turbotech intercooler

Does anyone have any insight on the capabilities of it? It looks kinda small which is why I ask. Does Turbotech manufacture them themselves or are they purchased from anther source?

It's actually a Spearco (Turbonetics) core with Turbo Tech's endtanks welded on. We typically see within about 15 degrees of ambient temp on the street, even under 10+psi of boost. I wouldn't worry about replacing this intercooler until you're making enough power to require a SERIOUS fuel system to go with it that includes parts from Aeromotive or Weldon.

Actually I plan on a built block shooting for around 600-650rwhp. I already have plans on upgrading the fuel system. Do you think it will be alright with this power on a daily driver?
