Installing S-Max Intercooler & CrYo Kit
soon, just waiting on the rest of the parts to come in..
NOS, IC, CAI, Dwn pipe/tube Exhaust, Fuel Rail/Mani box, Coil Over/Spring/Sway bar, wheel hop kit, 18x10 wheels, GMPP LNF stage kit (on order direct from GMPP), the list goes on n on.. i said overnite shippin not overnite sleepin..
yep, the CF spoiler goes with custom CF widebody kit, nothing like the cobalt-addiction kit, its wide enuff for 11'' wheels, lm makin a time attack beast..
ill take two boxes with B-U-T-T-E-R n hold the salt please!! hehe..

Get a shorter core.... 8" is the max I would even attempt to put on a car. I used a 6" tall core, sits in their just fine no adjustments needed!
And with intercoolers, you won't make anymore power over stock with just bolting it on. You tune it for the colder denser charge, is where the power comes in....
Good luck with that... I don't see it working out the way you want it to though!

Yes but only using about 1/2 of it's effective cooling fins.... It's not all about size here people... it's about Volumetric Effeciency, once you realize that you'll ****!
I picked my intercooler for a couple reasons, ease of install, it's a good 1" thicker than the stock unit, plus it uses the Bar and Plate vs. Tube and Fin all equal out to better cooling in a smaller package!
My IAT's are within 12-20* of ambient temperature.... so tell me your BIG intercooler does better, I doubt that!

I only wish I could measure my IAT2. I will agree that your intercooler may be more efficient, but I didn't pay much for it and it still does the job.
Mine did not fit, and besides It has too much volume anyway. Stocker is 567 cu in. That IC is 864 cu in. The stock turbo has to provide the volume to fill that IC up and because the inlet and outlet are at the bottom and it is really tall the lower 1/3 of the core does the majority of the cooling anyway.

And I wish people would understand that SIZE doesn't equal better!

He bought a core and had it fabricated to fit his car. Just please do not even think about getting that Crazy Steve IC. It is a POS.

Listen, you guys got me all wrong. I am not trying to fight with anyone about my intercooler.
I see stock boost (15-16psi) so wouldn't that mean I didn't lose power due to the bigger intercooler?
I was just trying to help get a product going not increase power.

I am not fighting either just informing, that is all.
Stock tune will ensure you get the same amount of air either way so you are fine but from an overall design standpoint it is not the best IC out there. The reason I have come to this understanding is through many hours of research on IC end tanks and cores after I had issues with mine not fitting. I wanted to make sure I was getting a well deigned core and endtanks.

Term I know what you mean, the car's computer is sooo finiky and adjusts soo much for every little thing... it'd be nice to know what is going on in the background though!
And BTW pulled 36.5lb/min MAF today with my makeshift shortram intake LOL
Yeah, my only regret is not getting one that was just a tad longer... but only for asthetic purposes only! The I/C works great.

Rice you say, compared to your ?stock? balt.. interesting.. read my sig.. do i need to say more..
yes its getting tuned for the dense air charge, they making a OEM sized IC - the only diff is charge piping inside the IC..
any taller than 8'' youll need to cut metal.. and ur end tanks n support bracket would have to be custom..
lets hope the LNF stage kit does what its promised - ?really edit fuel maps & learn down is turned off?, if this is the case, yo boy.. there will be alot balt going over 400+whp n easy 11/12sec 1/4..

I thought you were saying to not get a tall intercooler because of size restriction, but I guess you were saying efficiency.
I only wish I could measure my IAT2. I will agree that your intercooler may be more efficient, but I didn't pay much for it and it still does the job.
