Dual Pass Intercooler End Plate
**does anyone have some kind of statistical breakdown on how effective this upgrade is? is this worth it in the long run and how does it differ in performance compared to an aftermarket heat exchanger?
**smart technical inputs needed for everyone to use**

it dosnt really affect performance, it keeps you from heat soakin faster and keeps everything cooler longer, keeping the iat2s down is a good thing for people with smaller pullies.

a lot of hours.
the best way i can describe the dual pass is:
when comparing air to water to an air to air intercooler, it's like making an air to air intercooler 2 times as big

What this does is send the coolant on two separate paths through the 4 cores, with each path covering only 2 cores before heading back to the H/E radiator. This increases cooling by not letting the coolant get as hot before extracting it. A secondary benefit is that it slows down the coolant flow through the manifold, giving it more time to absorb heat, thereby better taking advantage of the shorter paths. Great efficency mod, essential for higher boost/heat situations to help control intake air temps, preventing the power-robbing heat soak you get after sustained full boost runs.

i disagree. cooler intercooler means denser air. not neccassarily more hp but better response. i know when my iat2's are under 100 the sc is alot more responsive.

True. But, all he's saying is that it doesn't add HP. Now, methanol adds HP because it takes IAT2s down below a natural level. I know what you're saying as well; it does actually affect performance as it keeps you running higher numbers for longer periods of time, you're right....I just think he was talking about taking IAT temps down enough to make more power.

Not really. That would be the equivalent of adding 4 more cores to our system.
