so im thinking about getting this zzp intercooler kit ZZPerformance - Intercooler Package for LNF #ZZ-LNFICP


im only gonna run a downpipe with highflow cat,k&n cai,fordge bpv,and possibly a meth kit


should i get this kit? and will the IC actually give me more hp/tq?

 

The kit is top notch. ZZP is great. You may gain a few hp/tq but its more towards the fact that you are replacing the stock plastic end tank intercooler and the stock plastic charge pipes. Its more of a reliability thing than anything else. And the fact that your IAT's will be much much lower with the intercooler.

 

My suggestion would be to do the exhaust first with the down pipe and cold air the tune. The forged bpv is a good idea but not necessary yet IMO. IMO again, THEN, I would get the valve springs from ZZP and neutral balance shafts and a GOOD tune so you can rev that thing into the 7300 range give or take. THEN INTERCOOL kit. Or skip the balance shafts and springs and get your intercooler kit (which is a good one from zzp) Then a good tune. Over all the answer to your question is with a good tune yes you will see more hp/tq from this kit. You will see even more hp/tq with a cat back exhaust to where the bigger intercooler and piping is taking in a larger amount of air and the aftermarket cat back would letting the larger amount of air out that much faster. I recommend doing a tune on a turbo'd car after every air related performance option. Hope this helped!
