Those intercoolers are bad-ass but i heard they are about $6000.00!

I've met and talked with him a few times.
His stuff is nice.

I have read up on offshoreonly about them and there is alot off good stuff being said. I was hoping that someone on here uses one. I am curious about the intercooler for a N/A motor. Someone one offshore said $3800 for the intercooler only. Anyone with some info???

Bringing the baro pressure back closer to SL on a hot day. Same theory as cold air boxes on pickups and such. Cooling the ambient air down close to lake temp instead of 115.

Ok...I got ya...it is a Forced Induction with a carb box:D
I just wanted to specify the Carb set-up not the EFI.

Thats cool (NPI)
Pretty expensive for a few ponies vs 100 or more for forced induction intercooling. Unless you are racing.

You can't intercool a naturally aspirated engine, you will restrict more air than your factory of density change. This is called a pre-cooler, has never really worked successfully. You have to restrict the air to get it through the air passages, or you can open them up enough not to restrict and then get almost no cooling.

Makes sense. Good point.
