But how well is the GP Intercooler expected to cool the air from the larger TVS?

Are you going to be able to reach power potential with the TMIC or will it need to go Air to Water or FMIC?

Thanks.

My thoughts are that on the standard pulley, we are not looking at a lot more pressure, but more volume of air, so it should produce cooler, denser air charge temps. The TVS has a considerably larger inlet. This mean the air flow that goes through the inlet will be slower. Slower air flow means less kinetic energy, hence less energy is transformed to heat. Therefore, I don't think the GP, or even the stock intercooler would have a problem on the basic kit.

Early runs were very encouraging from a heat standpoint. We watched inlet air temps drop as we drove... the TVS had no temp buildup in our test runs.
We think that at any boost pressures under 19- 20 PSI the GP intercooler will be acceptable. ... especially with methanol afterwards.. which we have not had on and spraying yet.... still have one more hurdle to clear...
